What Exactly Is Medical Tourism?
|
Health and wellness tourism (also known as medical tourism) is travelling abroad for medical treatment to take advantage of advanced technological services and procedures available from healthcare providers around the world, making significant savings on the costs of these treatments whilst at the same time lifting any time constraints being imposed by your healthcare provider in your country of residence. Along with all of these benefits the Health tourists are able to experience and enjoy the ultimate in tourist destinations.

Is Health and Wellness Tourism Right For Me?
|
The choice to take advantage of health tourism is a truly personal one. We encourage you to educate yourself with all the options available and customize them to meet your personal needs, finances, and desires. Create a journey that will be positive, relaxing, beneficial and restorative. If you have been delaying a medical treatment in your own country due to costs, excessive wait times, or unavailability of specific treatments locally, then you have affordable options abroad.

What Medical Treatments are Available Abroad?
|
Some of the most popular treatments that medical tourists travel abroad for include Orthopaedics (hip replacement, knee replacement, spinal work); Cardiovascular Surgery (heart bypass, valve replacement, heart transplant); Cancer diagnosis and treatment; Dental care; and Cosmetic surgery. Also, other specialty treatments (ie. fertility and IVF procedures), and weight-loss procedures (ie. bariatric surgeries).

How Much Can I Save By Getting My Treatment Abroad?
|
The amount of savings you can make will depend on your treatment, the destination you choose, and also your lifestyle and travel preferences. Medical Tourism means that you can compare prices for your treatment across a multitude of countries without having to compromise on quality, expertise, and experience. Cyprus4Health will help you locate premier medical and wellness professionals at prices that you can afford. We will connect you with experienced medical professionals trained in some of the most prestigious medical programs and working at some of the finest medical and wellness centers in the world.

Is Health and Wellness Tourism Safe?
|
One way to ensure that the health care facilities you are seeking treatments from are safe is to learn more about their accreditation (e.g., JCI, ISO 9001:2000, CHKS, etc.), and board certifications of doctors and staff (e.g., American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, American Board Certified General Surgeon, The American Board of Medical Specialists). In addition, there are several well recognized similar international boards that certify healthcare providers and hold them to high global standards.
Do your research and make sure that the facility and the doctors are accredited and board certified. Medical tourism is a growing field and many doctors and facilities are getting the proper certifications, because they want clients to come back for more procedures and influence others to come as well.
|
Is Health and Wellness Treatment Abroad Covered by Insurance?
|
The insurance industry has begun to support medical treatments abroad. Check your options with your health insurance provider. If the center you are wishing to travel to is within their network, you can make huge savings on your medical bill. In America, some of the Health Saving Accounts (HSA) funds could be used to pay for the expenses associated with treatment abroad. Regulatory stipulations say that you can pay for travel expenses if the purpose of that travel is to seek medical care and not of a personal travel nature.

Is Healthcare Overseas Safe?
|
Of course, no medical procedure is 100% risk-free anywhere in the world, however, the best hospitals and clinics around the world maintain health and procedural standards that are equal to, or higher, than those in America. You will not have trouble in finding physicians, surgeons, and dentists who received their medical training and qualifications at first-rate medical schools in America, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, or Switzerland. All these countries , and more, enforce strict governmental, private, and international standards for hospital, clinic, and medical centre healthcare certification.
|
If Healthcare In Other Countries Is So Good, Why Is It So Cheap?
|
In countries like America and Great Britain there are high facilities costs, high-priced medical education, and costly research, and, for America in particular, billions in unpaid hospital bills and excessive malpractice litigation. All these factors add up to exorbitant prices for healthcare in these countries. Also, physicians in these countries that perform elective and specialty procedures (ie. IVF treatments, cosmetic surgeries, and certain cardiac and orthopaedic procedures) command astronomical fees from patients that are only too willing, and able, to pay. This leaves those patients of lesser means unable to participate and seeking alternative options. Conversely, healthcare in other countries is also less costly because standards of living are significantly lower, wages are also more modest, and government subsidised healthcare keeps private healthcare costs down.
|
Will The Medical Professionals Be Able To Speak English?
|
We have made sure that English-speaking professionals are at your disposal. This will be true for hospital staff, doctors, hotel personnel, etc. The doctors that we work with have either had their medical education in English-speaking countries like America, Great Britain, Australia, or spent many years working in these countries, or both, so their English is excellent.
