Clemmons, NC, Feb. 4, 2015 – An article in the February issue of the Samaritan Ministries
Christian Health Care Newsletter details NC Medical Travel staffer Richard Jordan’s cost effective
major surgery ... in Costa Rica.
The article, by newsletter assistant editor Jed Stuber, chronicles Jordan’s kidney stone surgery in
December 2014. It also explains how his medical bills were processed and approved as publishable
by Samaritan Ministries, a health care sharing ministry.

Jordan’s PCNL surgery at UNIBE Hospital in Costa Rica was performed by Dr. Roy Lopez and his team. In the U.S., the procedure would have cost around $38,000. His Costa Rican bill, including flights, recovery center stay, meals and lodging for 5 nights, and fees, was $12,000. Just as important, if not more so, Jordan says the quality of the health care was excellent, especially since he sacrificed nothing except time and "legwork."
Hopefully Richard's experience will bring an option to the attention of many Americans that they
may have not considered. He is grateful for the opportunity and outcome. As a staff member of NC Medical Travel himself, he was already confident in Costa Rican healthcare and UNIBE Hospital. He had not expected the personal involvement, however.
