A New Model


Medical tourism is defined as traveling to obtain healthcare needs. For many years wealthy people in developing countries have traveled to the US to obtain superior quality care. In recent years, because of rising healthcare costs, many US citizens have traveled abroad to obtain discounted healthcare. Recent studies show that between 500,000 to 1,000,000 people travel outside the US annually to obtain plastic surgery, heart surgery, orthopedic surgery, and other types of medical care.

Domestic medical tourism is a relatively new model where people travel within the US to places that offer discounted services for cash paying patients. Sometimes the discounted services are negotiated by third parties. The newest model for domestic medical tourism is represented by TravelSurgeryUSA. TravelSurgeryUSA provides superior surgical care at steeply discounted prices. The surgical facilities are in and around Charleston, SC, recently voted the #1 tourist destination in the US.

The surgical fees quoted are global and inclusive fees for surgeon, facility, and anesthesia. These fees are discounted 60% to 80% compared to hospital costs. Many of these procedures are priced competitively with surgeries performed in foreign countries when travel costs are included.

  1. Medical tourism is travel for the purpose of getting medical, dental, or cosmetic treatment. The term health tourism is similar, but health tourism includes travel for stress reduction, to visit spas, folk healing, and health-related purposes other than medical, dental, or cosmetic treatment. There are many aspects to medical tourism. It is new phase of tourism, which has dual benefit.
