Large numbers of Americans cross the border into Mexico for affordable medical treatment each year
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are crossing the border into Mexico each year to receive a wide range of treatments, including medical services, dental care and cosmetic surgery, experts in what has become known as "medical tourism" say.
A treatment plan he estimated would cost $15,900 in the U.S. ended up costing Woodman $4,010 in Mexico.According to Patients Without Borders' estimates, The savings can be as high as 40 to 70 percent. The remainder, he says, mainly travel for orthopedics, bariatrics , optometry, IVF and other services.
Still, Woodman said it is important for Americans traveling for treatment to"do their homework" before receiving any kind of care outside of the U.S. Ultimately, Woodman said, the"primary keys to success are, one, patients doing rigorous research," including looking into whether clinics are accredited and looking up patient reviews, as well as"pursuing quality over price."
