Would you try medical tourism for 10 THOUSAND dollars?

I just updated the "Prices" link above to link to our newest price guide, which reflect a discount plan we have negotiated on behalf of our customers. Check it out and prepare to be in for a shock.

I realize a lot of people are extremely hesitant to try something like this.
But let me ask you.
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you get on a plane (by a reputable airline of your choice)
and fly 4 to 6 hours internationally?
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you go to the trouble of getting a passport?
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you stay at a fine hotel in a luxurious exotic setting?
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you get world-class, high-tech, healthcare by U.S. certified doctors and dentists?
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you get better recovery healthcare than in the U.S. (with a better nurse ratio and better healthcare system)
For 10 THOUSAND dollars, would you go on an unforgettable tour to, say, a waterfall garden, a volcano, or a rain forest?

We are not offering a ten thousand dollar bonus for people who'll try our service. We are simply saying that these are the probable savings for a person with a $12,000 medical bill in the U.S. (which is sadly very realistic, or even a low estimate).

$12,0000 U.S. or $2,000*  in Costa Rica?
It's your choice.
That's generically $600 flight + $400 hotel + $800 medical/dental + $200 tours/expenses
*All prices of course vary for many reasons. Traveller preferences and medical needs are the biggest variables.

What about a smaller U.S. bill?
The same idea applies, with savings all the way to the $2,000 level.
$8000 U.S. or $2000 in Costa Rica?
$5000 U.S. or $1,800 in Costa Rica?
$3000 U.S. or $1,600 in Costa Rica?

Just a few cosmetic procedures (which are not usually covered by insurace) can quickly add up. And often, and tragically, "cosmetic" healthcare is actually a matter of actual health and well-being. But the insurance companies doen't care. That's why we are here to help.

The prices I imply here are not the same for everybody, and I encourage everyone to take responsibilty for their health, whether they are a traveller with DentaRica, someone else, or someone who chooses medical care here in the U.S.
