Procedures can vary to a very small procedure of just cutting the fibers that hold a tooth after having braces to major reconstruction of a jaw and more, so an average is hard to pinpoint. To save costs without necessarily reducing quality, over 500,000 US residents traveled overseas for medical care in 2007 - and the trend is rising. Cost savings can be as high as 90%. One reason is because hospitals in the US often cost $500 or more per square foot to build, but in many foreign countries they can be built for less than $100 a square foot to state of the art specifications. And, often there are fewer patients overseas in relation to the nursing staff available to care for patients. Take care when choosing a facilitator, medical team and hospital just as you would for hospitals and medical teams here. Hospitals should be JCI accredited, and as a double-check, visit the US Department of State website for updates on any countries to avoid and other precautions.
