Healthbase, the leading medical tourism company based in USA, is the trusted source for global medical choices, connecting patients to top-class healthcare facilities overseas.
Healthbase's easy-to-use, information rich web-based system helps you research everything you require to successfully meet your medical tourism needs and arrange your medical care including necessary travel, tourism and accommodation, all at one place.
We arrange first class medical tourism services for patients at major internationally accredited hospitals in Thailand, Singapore, India, Turkey, Hungary, Belgium, South Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama. The cost of surgical care at our ever growing network of affiliated institutions is typically a fraction of the cost of care in the USA with equal or superior outcomes.
What is Medical Tourism?
Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical,
dental and cosmetic care.
Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Surgical Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Outsourcing and Medical Value Travel.
Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation in medical tourism although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and for treatments that are not available in their home country.
While abroad, patients also frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
Healthbase can facilitate a variety of medical tourism services from basic consultations to full service treatment abroad.
We help you to take care of all the medical tourism details from arranging the surgery and financing options to travel, tourism and visas.
Who should be interested in Medical Tourism?
As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism's offerings.
While anyone is a prospective patient, most of our medical tourism customers fall into one of the four categories:
Medical Tourism for Elective Surgery:
A large number of medical tourists seek out elective procedures such as cosmetic or wellness treatments
that are not covered by insurance plans.
Medical Tourism for Underinsured:
As insurers cut back on their coverage and insurance costs skyrocket,
more and more individuals find themselves 'underinsured'.
High deductibles, wait-lists and limited physician choices force many patients to seek out alternative treatments.
Others find that the care they need is not covered under their catastrophic insurance plans. An alternative to withdrawing from their precious 401K is to seek healthcare overseas or medical tourism.
Medical Tourism for Uninsured:
16% of the USA population is uninsured.
These individuals, many of which are self-employed, frequently find themselves dipping into their hard-earned savings
to finance their medical care.
Medical tourism is an increasingly popular solution among our uninsured population.
Medical Tourism for Others:
In some cases, even for insured people, the cost of treatment overseas is less than their out-of-pocket amount in the USA. If you are a Baby Boomer you do not yet qualify for Medicare or Medicaid for your urgently needed surgery. For others who have lost their group coverage due to retirement, the surgery or procedure they need may not be covered under the Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits. Under such circumstances, medical tourism is the most viable option.
How can hospitals offer such low rates?
As you know healthcare is one area where quality is more important than cost.
So how do our hospitals provide high quality at such low rates?
Fees in the USA are driven by labor overhead, administrative expenses, and insurance contracts.
Over 71 percent of hospital costs are labor related according to a recent World Health Organization report
which helps to explain some of the cost advantages for countries with low labor costs.
Healthbase eliminates these burdens by connecting patients directly to surgeons and hospitals in our medical tourism partner network, allowing us to offer premier
services at prices unavailable in the USA.
Why Healthbase?
Healthbase, the leading medical tourism agency, is a provider-of-choice for medical tourists world-wide.
We have developed the industry's most sophisticated and comprehensive medical tourism web portal
where consumers can arrange medical tourism from start to finish.
In addition to our one-stop service offerings,
we strive to provide world-class care along several dimensions:
Quality:
Our primary concern at Healthbase has always been quality of care.
We have carefully screened hospitals based on the quality of care,
procedural availability, pricing, and overall patient experience.
We mainly work with hospitals that maintain best practice standards of care,
such as JCI/JCAHO accreditation, so you can be sure that you will receive world-class treatment.
Healthbase continually monitors and re-evaluates our international partner hospital network
through patient feedback, research, and onsite visits.
Healthbase works to ensure that the experience itself,
from the quality of nurses and standards of hygiene to post-treatment recovery services, is exceptional.
Our overseas partner hospitals offer immaculate facilities.
Patients can expect deluxe rooms, delicious food, internet access,
no wait-lists and excellent registered nurse coverage.
Our continued success in medical tourism depends entirely upon our reputation for world-class surgical services.
Cost:
Healthbase offers outstanding surgical services at 60-80% less than prevailing USA rates.
Even with travel expenses taken into account, our comprehensive medical tourism packages still
provide a savings measured in the thousands of dollars for major procedures.

The medical procedures list provided here is a partial list. Healthbase offers over two hundred medical, cosmetic and dental procedures. Complete list of medical, dental and cosmetic procedures offered are available for registered users.
While the primary motivation for most Medical Tourism customers is affordable surgery,
the opportunity to visit destinations in countries like Thailand, India, Singapore, Panama, Costa Rica and Hungary is an additional draw for some of our customers.
Many customers spend a few days sightseeing before or after their medical, cosmetic or dental procedure.
Immediate service:
When your health is at stake, wait-lists are not an option. Our hospital partners will work with your schedule and timeframe to ensure quick access to care. Through Healthbase's sophisticated online quote system, your medical records will be made accessible to the hospitals of your choice instantly and hence will be able to get your medical quote within two business days in most cases.
