Press release by Richard Jordan, PR Coordinator for DentaRica, LLC
Clemmons, NC -- An article is being published about one of the travelling surgical patients of NC Medical Travel and Clinica UNIBE Hospital. The February 2015 article, published by Samaritan Ministries Healthcare Newsletter and written by Jed Stuber, will be about a USA patient named Richard Jordan having a successful major surgery in Costa Rica.
The article will detail how it came to pass that Samaritan member Richard Jordan, a staff member of NC Medical Travel, was in the right place at the right time when his medical crisis erupted. This is the same kidney stone patient who appears in NC Medical Travel's most recent promotional video.
The article (once published) can be found here: http://samaritanministries.org/newsletter/
Richard discovered that he had a kidney stone requiring surgery (thus saving him much agony and emergency medical bills) because of the affordability of healthcare in Costa Rica. In the USA, he had suspected a kidney stone, but could not afford a CAT scan needed to evaluate the situation. He traveled to Costa Rica as staff of NC Medical Travel in September 2014 in order to accompany travelling patients from Chicago. He was not expecting to discover a surgical crisis. But, while he was in Costa Rica anyway, $400 for a CAT scan seemed an amazing opportunity.
Richard does not have typical insurance. He has been very pleased with the alternative he has been enjoying (Samaritan Ministries healthcare newsletter). Samaritan asks him to pay up front (self-pay), when possible. Many Americans are facing a similar predicament, especially if they have high co-pays, a high deductibles, or no insurance at all.
Richard's experience may be able to offer an option that many Americans have not considered. He feels very grateful for the experience.
