Orthopedic Surgery Mexico

Orthopedic Surgery in Mexico

Knee surgeries, hip resurfacing and replacement, shoulder cuff surgery and other orthopedic treatments are available in Mexico, done by highly accredited doctors in fully equipped hospitals and clinics, for a fraction of the cost of the same treatments in the U.S.

Even when you add up the cost of travel and accommodation, American orthopedic patients can save 50% or more by taking a medical vacation south of the border. In many cases the surgeons have training and experience in the U.S.

If are in need of routine orthopedic surgery that you are partially or fully responsible for paying, consider this: Medical tourists to Mexico regularly report that their medical experience in Mexico was just as good as in the U.S. Many report a less rushed, more personalized care, rather than the conveyor-belt treatment often experienced at U.S. hospitals.

Even those with partial insurance coverage can benefit by getting their orthopedic surgery in Mexico, since many American insurance companies will process claims for procedures done at Mexican hospitals. A patient required to pay even a small percentage of an operation that is tens of thousands of dollars in the U.S., may find that the coverage applies equally to getting the surgery done south of the border.

The amount the patient is responsible for paying turns out to be much less because of the lower overall cost of the surgery.
