Medical Travel in Three Easy Steps

Step 1: Your Quote and Consult

  • 24 hour turnaround on your quote request

    Your medical package includes all medical costs including hospital stay

  • Information collection

    Your Case Manager team will collect your medical history including photographs of the surgical area (for cosmetic surgery patients), and/or most recent diagnoses, lab tests and x-rays.

  • Surgeon communication

    Not all cases require a surgical consultation. However, more complex surgeries, or patients with health complicatons, may need multiple contacts with the surgeon - email, conference call, video conference. Your Case Manager will make the necessary arrangements at no cost or obligation to you.

  • Case Management team dedicated to your case

    Each member of our Case Management Team has personal experience, and can answer your questions about hospital services as well as the medical travel process.

Step 2: Travel Coordination Services

  • Approval for surgery

  • The surgeon will review your completed online medical evaluation, required x-rays or pictures, and consult with you as needed to approve you for surgery.

  • Meet your Medical Travel Coordinator

    After the surgeon has approved your candidacy for surgery you will be contacted by the Medical Travel Coordinator to set up your air reservations (if needed), hotel and discuss any special accommodations you may need.

  • Plan your Itinerary

    Your bilingual medical travel coordinator will provide you with a detailed itinerary that includes a complete schedule that includes:

    • Any pre-surgery lab work
    • Your procedure
    • Expected recovery time
    • Local transportation arrangements
    • Hotel information
    • Airline information
    • Important contact numbers
  • Getting to the hospital

    You’ ll be met at the nearest airport (or for drivers at border) by our comfortable Hospital Angeles shuttle service and taken to your destination. Angeles Health International hospitals are located in major metropolitan areas and commercial districts-typically just a domestic flight away for most medical travelers.

Step 3: After Your Procedure

  • Release from the hospital/hotel stay

    If your surgeon requires follow-up consultation, you will stay at one of our specialty-priced partner hotels until you are approved for travel.

  • Surgeon follow-up, release for travel

    Your package includes return transportation to your destination airport.

  • Recovery and follow-up

    Once you are home, Hospital Angeles International will follow up with you to ensure your recovery is going as expected, answer any questions and help address any after care requirements you may have.

    We always provide you with the opportunity to give us feedback on every element of your experience, to help us ensure our Medical Travel Division is providing the highest quality care and service possible.

Medical Travel: Why It's Popular

Did you know... that, in its July 2008 report Medical Tourism: Consumers in Search of Value, July 2008, the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions reported that about 750,000 Americans headed abroad for major health care last year and an estimated 1.5 million will do so this year?

Did you know... Americans go to Mexico by the thousands for dental care - where a perfect smile is far more affordable than the US. From families of one to families of six, dental tourism to Mexico is on the rise.

Did you know... that Forbes magazine reported last year the hospitals and physicians medical travelers are frequenting are “usually first-rate and, amazingly, can provide operations at 10% to 30% of the cost in the U.S."

Did you know... medical bills are the number one reason for bankruptcy in the US? For many people, medical travel is a solution that brings with it not just quality health care but improved financial stability.
