Would you pay the same price if you pass through My Medical Suitcase or in direct?

Would you think you would pay less passing directly through the care center than contacting My Medical Suitcase, you could be right. In practice this is not true. We have specific agreements with our partner centres guaranteeing the same price as if you would directly contact them. We give you the guarantee of being taken care of by the best surgeons and accompany you so that your health is your only concern. Forget the mental burden of appointments, paperwork, transport... We take care of everything for you.

“Nonetheless, it takes a special kind of person to grab his passport and get surgery in a place he’s visiting for the first time.A lot of them have sports injuries, which aren’t always covered by insurance,”  “They like to travel, they don’t trust U.S. health care, and they love beating the system.”

This helps explain why one of the most common types of significant surgery sought by U.S. medical travelers is orthopedic, especially for knees and hips. Typically, these procedures are nonemergencies, require short hospital stays, and have low complication rates, making them well-suited for travelers.
