Affordable Hip Replacement Surgery in Monterrey Opens Great Opportunities to US Uninsured and Canadians in Waiting Lists
Monterrey, Mexico, December 3rd, 2009
Medical Travel keeps growing and opening opportunities for individuals searching for fair priced healthcare. Although going overseas for plastic surgery or weight loss procedures can help you save around 50%, the pricing differential in non-elective procedures such as a hip replacement are even greater.
As Mexico’s healthcare capital, Monterrey has four Joint Commission International accredited hospitals and a myriad of US-trained surgeons that have begun to shift their focus towards a more American and Canadian client segment. Gabriel Senior, General Manager at Travel for Care, a local medical travel firm states “Everyday we listen to stories of Americans defaulting on their loans because of healthcare-related expenses, while the option of coming to Mexico and saving about two thirds is straightforward.”
As Dr. Jose Fernando De La Garza, founder of ORTHO, a group of professional orthopedists that use Hospital San Jose TEC as their home base, points out: “Our group of experienced specialists and the state-of-the-art technology found in this institution allow us to offer top care while still at a fraction of the price found back in the US.” The total hip replacement surgery which regularly exceeds $40,000 in the U.S. is only $14,317 in one of Mexico’s best hospitals, Hospital San José TEC. Less renown hospitals are able to offer even more attractive prices in the $10,000 range. A place so far known well for business is on track to become a medical travel hub.
Hospital San José TEC de Monterrey is one of Monterrey's best regarded healthcare institutions, accredited by the Joint Commission International, and part of the Monterrey TEC, Mexico's largest private education system. For more information, please visit www.hsj.com.mx
