Medical Tourism
What is Medical Tourism?
When a person travels outside of their hometown to receive medical services, this is referred to as medical tourism. Americans have been participating in medical tourism for generations. However, it’s only been in the past decade that major insurance companies and larger institutions gained interest.Â
Places like Tijuana were once only known for low cost dentistry. Now they are home to a multitude of high-end surgical centers, offering everything from bariatrics to cosmetic procedures, orthopedics, etc.
These days, medical tourists are typically in search of affordability, better access to care or better quality of care. Using a trusted service like TreVita makes medical tourism is easier. We help make surgery more affordable and as safe as receiving the same procedure in the U.S.
Is Medical Tourism Truly Safe?
We believe it is and tens of thousands of other Americans agree. Luckily, we’ve done much the legwork for you. Experts at TreVita scrutinized every aspect of the medical tourism process.Â
At TreVita, we help patients by:
- Finding the most safe and convenient travel options for our patient’s surgery.
- Providing hands-on scrutiny of the surgical staff for safety and measuring the credibility of medical facilities.
- Researching the quality of the post-op accommodations.
We’ve gone through painstaking effort to offer you surgeons and facilities with the best outcomes and the most safe, secure and pleasant surgical experiences.
