Medical Travel Procedure Pricing

Using our free, online marketplace, patients can search for surgery options based on price, experience, insurance accepted and location—and select the treatment option that best fits your budget.

Travel to Another State or Country to Save Money on Surgery

In international hospitals, procedures can cost 20% to 40% less compared to the same procedure in the U.S. And with medical travel growing in popularity, some U.S. health care providers are reducing surgery costs in order to stay competitive with international providers.

Patients can reduce surgery costs and wait time by traveling to another state or country for health care. The difference in cost and wait time isn’t due to a difference in surgical quality, as our network providers must be accredited health care professionals. The difference in price is typically attributed to insurance and overhead costs.

Significant Savings on Surgery

Even after adding the cost of transportation and accommodations, traveling for surgery can save patients a considerable amount of money while reducing the time spent waiting for medical treatment.

For example, in a cost and quality comparison of major international hospitals, every hospital surveyed charged 40% or less for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) than the average cost of the same procedure in California hospitals. The same study also showed that patients would spend just 10% of the cost to receive that treatment at a well-known hospital in India—with one of the lowest mortality rates in the world—compared to a well-known U.S. hospital.

This is just one of many examples of the significant savings made available through medical travel. And by using HOW, patients can easily compare procedure cost and quality from an outstanding array of providers around the world.
