May 18, 2019 — Thousands of Americans are Crossing the Border Into Mexico Every Year to Get Affordable Medical Treatment
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are crossing the border into Mexico each year to receive a wide range of treatments, including medical services, dental care and cosmetic surgery, experts in what has become known as "medical tourism" say.
According to Josef Woodman, the CEO of Patients Beyond Borders, an organization advocating for medical travel, as many as 800,000 to 1 million American citizens make the trip from the U.S. to Mexico for affordable treatment each year.
Woodman said he himself chooses to receive care south of the border to save costs, with the CEO recently traveling to Cancun to get dental care that he had "long since neglected."
A treatment plan he estimated would cost $15,900 in the U.S. ended up costing Woodman $4,010 in Mexico.
"So, I saved about $10,000," he said. "And that is not unusual. You can save a lot of money."
According to Patients Beyond Borders' estimates, The savings can be as high as 40 to 70 percent.
"Typically it's closer to 70 percent," Woodman explained. "Especially when you're going for complex treatment."
According to Woodman, roughly 75 percent of those traveling to Mexico for treatment are making the journey across the border for dental or cosmetic care, with around 60 percent receiving dental care, while another 15 percent travel for cosmetic surgery.
The remainder, he says, mainly travel for orthopedics, bariatrics (weight loss procedures), optometry, IVF and other services.
Addressing potential safty concerns, Woodman said that while there are potential risks with receiving treatment outisde of the U.S., Mexico is increasingly gaining international recognition for improving its medical facilities, many of which are "world class".
