Seven Corners Announces First Insurance Program for International Medical Tourism
Excerpt: Medical tourism, the practice of traveling outside of a person's home country to obtain health care services at a significantly reduced rate, is expected to multiply by 100 percent from 2007 to 2010, according to a study conducted by Deloitte. Medical tourists most often travel abroad to obtain elective procedures such as dental, Lasik, bariatric, lumbar/disc, knee/hip replacement, infertility and plastic surgeries. According to the study, costs for these procedures can be up to 90 percent less than what a person may pay in their home country.
