BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING STORY ON ABC NEWS

Transcript of the news video

Anchor: 58-year old Carol Wolske is back on her bike enjoying the exercise and soaking in the view of her quaint village of Diamond, Illinois. 'A few months ago', Carol says, 'the bike riding would have been impossible.' She was told she needed hip surgery but couldn't afford it. She had no medical insurance.

Carol: That would have been my life savings. Everything that we worked for would have gone to pay the hospital bill and it just wasn't fair.

Anchor: So Carol did what more people are doing. She went to the Internet for help and discovered "Medical Tourism". She went with a company called Healthbase. Months later Carol had her hip resurfacing procedure done in India. She claims it would have cost over $50,000 in the US but she paid only $11,000 that included not only the surgery but airfare for her and her husband and lodging.

Carol: No skimping on quality. Don't even think it. The knowledge is just mind-boggling. The care is just phenomenal.

Anchor: Medical Tourism is becoming a more frequent option as healthcare costs skyrocket. The website lists hundreds of procedures and even has testimonials. Saroja Mohanasundaram is with Healthbase.

Saroja: 90% of our clients are from US.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
