A blog on the Healthcare Design website discusses the trend of traveling outside the U.S. for medical care
A blog on the Healthcare Design website by Senior Editor Anne DiNardo said that 1 million Americans are expected to travel outside the U.S. for medical care in 2014. According to Daniel Polachek of HGA Architects and Engineers, the rising trend is due to a combination of better value in terms of the money patients invest in a procedure and a faster turnaround time than what they can get locally. Medical travel is no longer available to just the affluent or well-insured, the blog said.
