MEDICAL TOURISM IN COSTA RICA







Costa Rica medical tourism has become world famous. Every year, thousands of people travel to Costa Rica for Costa Rica cosmetic surgery or other medical and dental procedures.

About 20,000 of those are Americans.

Why?

Because Costa Rica's health care is excellent, with top-quality facilities and highly skilled board certified physicians. . .

at a fraction of the cost in the United States.

How much can you save? Up to 65%!

But, does this mean the quality of care is less than in the U.S.?

Nope. The World Health Organization rates Costa Rica's medical care above that in the U.S. Many of the country's physicians have been educated or trained in the U.S. and, of course, speak English.

Maybe the great medical care here is because of the terrific year-found weather. See for yourself.

And hospitals are modern with all the latest medical technology.

Costa Rica medical tourism has soared within the past few years as more and more people world-wide have taken advantage of fantastic medical care at equally fantastic prices.

Costa Rica plastic surgery is done in internationally accredited medical facilities by board certified doctors, sometimes at ridiculously low prices.

Oh, there's one more thing. When you have an appointment for 10:00 here, you'll get into the doctor at . . .

10:00.

And you won't be limited to two minutes with an actual doctor.

Be still my heart!

So, hop a plane and come (you can make the reservation right here).

You'll save so much money you can take a Costa Rica vacation!

And, one more thing: you don't need to tell your friends you've had Costa Rica cosmetic surgery. They will just think you are radiant because of romance.

What happens here, stays here! Pura Vida!

Internationally Accredited Hospitals and Clinics

Considering medical tourism but a bit hesitant about the quality of care you will receive? Put your mind and heart to rest.

Costa Rica has several internationally accredited hospitals and clinics that meet the most rigorous standards in the world.

Do You Have Medical Insurance?

If you have medical or dental insurance, check with your carrier.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my carrier provided coverage through preferred doctors and medical facilities and dental coverage without regard to a preferred dentist.

Indeed, more and more carriers are now authorizing medical and dental treatment in Costa Rica. It's simple really. You get great care; your insurer gets a great price. Win/Win.

Before your travel Costa Rica, there are two things to do before leaving home.

First, check with your carrier to see what it will and will not cover.

Second, contact the Costa Rica care provider to see whether it accepts your insurance. In this day and age, let your fingers do the walking over the internet and you'll save a lot of time and money.

Don't have insurance? Since the cost of care here is so much less than in the United States, you may find you can afford treatment here. There are some great Costa Rica websites to address all your medical tourism needs. Even the prices are often online!

Like thousands before you, you may save so much money that it'll literally pay for your vacation.

Pura Vida!
