What types of health care can I travel for?

Medical tourism is becoming increasingly popular these days, especially for Americans without health insurance and those that need procedures their insurance policies won’t cover. The cost of medical procedures in other countries is often less than half the cost of the same procedures in the U.S., and that price usually includes meals and lodging abroad, as well. People interested in medical travel can choose from a number of destinations, including Mexico, Costa Rica, India, Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey. Foreign hospitals that cater to medical tourists usually have English-speaking staff and offer other accommodations for American patients.

Cosmetic Surgery

You can travel for a number of cosmetic procedures, including breast reduction or augmentation, face lift, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose job), and tummy tuck. You can also travel for procedures like chemical peels, dermabrasion, and injectable fillers like Botox.
