American and Canadian
travelers
For Americans that live
near the border it´s easier to come to Mexico for Medical Care services. Many
patients report that they are very satisfied in quality, price, health care and
services. A 90% stated that the care they had received in Mexico had been good
or excellent and an 80% stated that the care they had received in the United
States had been good or excellent, this statistics prove that the quality
service given in Mexico is much better than in another country plus the
benefits of the lower costs.
The amount of people that
traveling to Mexico for health procedures are increasing every year by nearly 3,000
people, this is because the costs in the United States continue to rise and
many employers are turning to insurance plans and traveling to Mexico for
check-ups.
In addition to dental and
plastic surgery, Mexican hospitals are popular for bariatric surgery for weight
loss, considered an elective procedure that is not covered by some US insurers.
A popular bariatric procedure, lap band or gastric band surgery, which was
approved by the FDA in the US in 2001, has been performed for longer by Mexican
surgeons.
