After experiencing repetitive dental procedures and extreme costs for those treatments in the United States, a Colorado woman grew concerned about her ability to find a dentist who could deal with her dental problems that didn’t lead her into bankruptcy.

After accessing PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal developed by CEO Pramod Goel of Denver, Colorado, she researched her options and found several providers who could possibly help her obtain the quality dental care she wanted.

The woman chose Wellness Dental, a facility in San Jose, Costa Rica, after researching their credentials. One of their experts was Dr. Delfin Barquero, a professor at the University of Costa Rica and a prosthodontics and dental esthetic expert with a private practice in San Jose in two Costa Rica locations in addition to being a member of the American Dental Association.

When all was said and done, she received over $20,000 of comparable dental work for a fraction of the cost (less than one quarter) in Costa Rica. She had received a free quote on what the trip, including medical care would cost, and she made travel arrangements through PlacidWay to travel to Costa Rica.

Whether you need dental implants, dental bridges, dentures, orthodontics, teeth whitening or cosmetic dentistry , affordable cosmetic dentistry is out there. Personal health care is all about choices, and providing accurate and reliable resources to individuals are round the world seeking more control over their health care as well as affordable treatments and procedures is the focus of PlacidWay.

A large percent of baby boomers (those between the ages of 45-65) are currently uninsured. Many who belong to this age group have lost their jobs due to aging, unemployment or downsizing and are no longer covered by affordable health care or insurance.

 

Traveling beyond local borders offers this group, more than any other demographic, the opportunity to pursue and receive premium healthcare, alternative treatments and travel, all at the same time. Boomers are leading the way to more affordable healthcare, seeking medical care overseas to address such needs as knee and hip replacement surgeries, cardiac care, and alternative treatments for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, orthopedic procedures, and dental care.

 

American boomers needing dental care and prescriptions often travel south of the border into Mexico or even as far as Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica for their needs. Dental procedures as well as medications in Latin American countries is less than half of what comparable procedures and medications cost in the United States. Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia are popular destinations for those needing hip or knee replacement surgeries. Europeans are making trips to Hungry and Poland for dental and cosmetic procedures at great savings, even after including the cost of travel and hotel or clinic accommodations.

 

Hospitals in South America or Asia generally cost one half of the price charged in the United States and Europe. For example, cardiac and orthopedic surgeries performed in India can save health travelers nearly $20,000 or more with one surgical procedure.

 

The health and wellness industry is booming, and today’s older adults and boomers are leading the way to a new revolution in affordable health care known as medical tourism.

The rising cost of health care, insurance, and demand has forced many natives to seek help across borders. As such, more and more Americans are traveling to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Guatemala for cosmetic and dental procedures. Natives from Australia and New Zealand travel to Singapore and Thailand to save on orthopedic and dental procedures as well. Even Western Europeans from England, France and Germany are traveling to Hungary and Poland for premium vision and dental care procedures, as well as the most common elective surgical procedures like cosmetic and plastic surgery.

 

Why this growing trend in cross-border medical travel?

 

Everything from cosmetic surgery to dental needs, to hip replacement surgeries are available in countries like Argentina, Singapore, India, Hungary and Thailand. Many of the facilities found in those countries are regulated and accredited by Medical Association accrediting boards in the United States.

 

The cost of procedures around the world drastically differs.  For example, bypass surgery in the United States can cost up to $35,000.  The same procedure provided in India costs $6,000.

 

Transplant procedures in the United States and Britain can cost up to $200,000.

 

Orthopedic surgery abroad, cancer treatment abroad, obesity/bariatric surgery abroad and procedures involving cosmetic and plastic surgery abroad are just a few of the procedures and treatments available today that promotes quality care at affordable prices.
