Health Traveler, a new web site providing information on medical tourism, launched

Health Traveler, a new web site providing information on medical tourism, launched

With introduction of http://www.health-traveler.com, the Internet has just become an even more valuable resource for Americans who are interested in medical tourism and health treatment abroad. This site was created specifically to meet the needs of the people who are interested in procedures overseas, and will allow them to search for trusted expert surgeons and find excellent health care facilities easily online. The growing range of doctor and country choices for medical tourism is excellent news for patients, but it does require careful contemplation of all options. http://www.health-traveler.com allows patients to assess all options and make the best and most informed decisions about their health care.

The costs of medical treatment in the United States continue to skyrocket- in fact, in the year 2009 the annual price of health insurance coverage rose 5%, according to a survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research & Educational Trust. The number of procedures that health care plans refuse to cover continues to shrink, even as costs continue to rise.

Many of the procedures that Americans want or need to have today are considered elective, or non-acute procedures by the insurance companies. Compounding that problem is the fact that the price of elective surgeries in the United States is far higher than in many other countries in the world. These factors combine to leave far too many people with dwindling options to get the care that they are seeking.

The medical tourism industry has risen to meet the needs of people who wish to have non-acute procedures performed, but want to have those procedures for a reasonable cost. In fact, a recent report published by Deloitte Research revealed that as many as 750,000 people leave the United States each year to have medical procedures performed in other countries where the cost is far more reasonable. Current Deloitte projections predict that the number will increase to between 12 and 15 million people having treatment abroad by the year 2017.

Most of the procedures that a typical health traveler has today are cosmetic or plastic surgeries that would have been twice as expensive-or more- in the United States. The growing availability of highly qualified expert surgeons in countries such as India, Singapore, Mexico, Thailand, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and Israel has opened up countless options for Americans seeking cosmetic or other non-acute surgery at a reasonable cost. However, finding the surgeons and the healthcare facilities to perform the surgeries can be challenging, especially because the surgery will be performed overseas. Health Traveler aims to makes this search simpler and faster.

PlacidWay Expands into Mexico Medical Tourism Market with MCMX

PlacidWay Expands into Mexico Medical Tourism Market with MCMX

06/07/10 Denver, CO: PlacidWay, a Colorado based medical tourism company, has expanded its operations into the Mexico Medical Tourism market after forming a strategic alliance with MCMX S. A. de C.V. (MCMX), business consultants specializing in health tourism and assisted living in Mexico. Joint efforts by PlacidWay and MCMX will focus on increasing information and awareness of Mexico as a unique destination and provide strategic and tactical solutions to healthcare providers in Mexico that meet the needs of international travelers.

PlacidWay is excited to form this partnership, designed to further educate medical tourists and consumers about the availability of choices when it comes to health care centers in Mexico. Mexico’s rapidly growing medical tourism market offers increasing numbers of accredited healthcare facilities adhering to international health care quality standards and offering American trained and certified doctors and surgeons.

Mexico’s proximity to the U.S. offers a logical choice for North Americans seeking affordable health care coupled with some of the best vacation spots in the world. Attractive beaches and easy access between countries prompts increased cross-border traffic into Mexico. Consumers seeking high quality yet affordable medical treatment find solutions and medical service providers in Mexico to ease their burden of rising healthcare costs, wait times, and accessibility to treatments and therapies in the United States.

“We’re happy to join our efforts with MCMX, as they’re the right partner to execute our long-term strategies and visions to provide access to global health care,” says Pramod Goel, CEO and Founder of PlacidWay. “Working together, our goal is to increase awareness of Mexico as a destination offering world-class medical care, facilities, doctors and surgeons. Providing affordable medical solutions to consumers is our mission.”

Mexico isn’t just convenient for Americans or Canadians seeking less expensive health care procedures but is a growing medical tourism, assisted living and retirement destination for millions around the globe, including a growing number of Baby Boomers. Accredited hospitals, American board certified doctors and surgeons and cutting edge equipment and technology have increased the number of individuals entering Mexico for high quality health care at affordable prices. Offering treatment, therapies and procedures in dental or cosmetic surgery, stem cell therapies to chronic disease or cardiac care treatment, the trend of traveling across borders into Mexico is rising. Accessible healthcare, superior customer service and satisfaction, affordability and excellence in care drives increasing numbers of individuals to choose Mexico as their premier healthcare destination.

“We’re excited about our strategic alliance with PlacidWay, a definite market leader in the medical tourism sector,” says Hector Xavier Martinez, President & CEO of MCMX, a leading business consulting company specializing in health tourism and assisted living in Mexico. “We intend to put Mexico and Latin America at the top of the medical tourism and assisted living destination market. The alliance will allow us to offer comprehensive medical tourism solutions to our stakeholders, including medical providers, governmental agencies and consumers seeking affordable healthcare.”

PlacidWay Mexico operations will have offices in Hermosillo, Sonora and Tijuana, Baja California in Mexico. The PlacidWay Mexico operations will provide medical tourism and assisted living support for local, regional and national level entities engaged in medical tourism and assisted living programs.
