Estimates range ffrom $2,500 - $15,000, depending on various factors. Rather than a "best state" approach, choose your doctor & surgery facility against others based on patient satisfaction, doctor's training & experience, board certification(s), etc. 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. An estimated 25% of US doctors are foreign nationals, so it's not much of a stretch to consider the next step - medical tourism. 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.
