Т.е. за определенную мзду (например 5% стоимости или флат фи) устраивать поездку к approved provider заграницей. Таким образом, вы заплатили скажем лишние $500, но едете за face lift уже не к какому-то малоизвестному Хуану в мексику, а к Др. Хуану, которого выбрала, проверила и одобрила ваша страховая компания Сигна.

А тот кто знает и мед туризмом не побрезгует, если на этом реально большие деньги экономятся. На всяких лечениях по бесплодию, к примеру. Тысячи и тысячи долларов.Lida wrote:Tempura wrote: все таки американцы лечатся у своих врачей.
Многие американцы вообще не знают, что есть жизнь за границами штата
Medical Tourist wrote:I have been scared, mutilated, and disfigured by offshore plastic surgery in Thailand. I traveled to Thailand for plastic-reconstructive surgery because it was too expensive in the United States, and American insurance companies would not cover the cost of the procedure because they viewed it as an elective surgery. Before going to Thailand, I did months of research on Thai doctors and hospitals in my price range, and thought I had made the right decision until after the surgery, when Dr. Kamol Panritum of the MtF Easthetic Surgery Center, took off the bandages from my face.
Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of my Thailand nightmare. After the doctor refused to refund my money, or pay to have the damage he had done to my face fixed by another doctor, or do the surgery over again himself; I attempted to report the doctor to government and professional medical associations to no avail. I was completely ignored by the Thailand Medical Council, the Thailand College of Surgeons, and the Medical Association of Thailand. I wrote a formal complaint to the hospital were the surgery was performed (Piavate Hospital of Bangkok) and it was ignored.
Even the attorney I attempted to hire, just gave me a run around for several weeks promising to take action against the doctor and never doing so. He initially was very eager to take my case, but shortly after doing so, he not only lost interest in the case, but became an apologist for the doctor. This appeared to have everything to do with me being a foreigner, attempting to take legal action against a wealthy and influential Thai plastic surgeon.
I later discovered that there are extremely few successful medical malpractice cases against medical doctors in Thailand that result in a cash award. Currently, there are only about 60 outstanding medical malpractice case on file with the Medical Council of Thailand for the entire country, and this number of cases is being pointed to by Thai Medical Council authorities as being unacceptably large.
It appears that if something goes wrong with a medical procedure in Thailand, and your are a foreigner, you have few, if any options of redress, and are completely at the mercy of the doctor. .
