Medical Tourism
There are 14 million cross-border patients worldwide spending an average of USD $3,800-$6,000 per visit, including medically-related costs, cross-border and local transport, inpatient stay and accommodations. We estimate some 1,400,000 Americans will travel outside the US for medical care this year. In addition, out-of-pocket medical costs of critical and elective procedures continue to rise, while nations offering universal care are faced with ever-increasing resource burdens. These drivers are forcing patients to pursue cross-border healthcare options either to save money or to avoid long waits for treatment. We estimate the worldwide medical tourism market is growing at a rate of 15-25%, with inbound patient flows highest in Mexico, Southeast and South Asia. We follow The Medical Tourism Association® three tenets: Transparency in Quality and Pricing, Communication and Education.
