First Care Colombia, an innovation in healthcare that has surprised the medical community, promises quality care that meets the standards of care found in the U.S. for knee and hip replacement surgery at the very modest price of $8,000. The $8,000 price is an all-inclusive amount including the associated hospital stay, F.D.A. approved prosthetics and surgeons' fees associated with the procedure.
At a time when many Americans are left suffering because of the prohibitive cost of many orthopedic surgery procedures, First Care Colombia LLC, a Florida company with its catchy, "More Care Less Cost," slogan, has brought the much needed credibility to the burgeoning medical tourism industry while providing savings of as much as 80 percent over comparable procedures in the United States.
http://eworldwire.com/pressreleases/18233Two in five Americans would consider travelling abroad for a medical procedure if it cost half the US price and quality was at least equal, according to a Deloitte consumer health report published on Wednesday .
The data highlight the exploding interest in so-called medical tourism, where patients seek treatment for elective surgeries such as hip replacements available more cheaply overseas.
Medical tourism has surged into the healthcare debate as costs rise and consumers are asked to share a growing proportion of up-front expenses. The practice was once seen as a desperate move to seek care that was unavailable, unapproved or dangerously cheaper than procedures in the US. But healthcare experts have noted increasing interest in the practice from consumers, hospitals and even employers. Some researchers are looking at whether US employers would be willing to pay for a covered employee’s medical procedure of equivalent quality abroad so as to lower overall healthcare costs.
