How Do I Apply for Orthopedic Surgery Abroad?
Step 1: Insurance Check
The first factor you'll need to consider when applying for orthopedic surgery abroad is budget. If you have insurance, check to see if your policy covers the treatment done overseas.
Ask your insurance company the following questions:
Is my orthopedic surgery abroad eligible for insurance cover?
Do you cover the total cost or a percentage?
What is the maximum benefit?
Will you pay directly to my healthcare provider?
Which countries do you cover?
If you don't have insurance, consider setting up a payment plan. Many health facilities are happy to let you pay the total for months or years. Since surgery abroad is far cheaper than within the USA, the monthly costs aren't as high.
You can also try alternative ways to finance your surgery abroad.
Step 2: Finding Right Hospital and Surgeons
Next, you'll need to do thorough research.
You want to spend time looking at different hospitals' websites that do orthopedic surgery. Look at their surgeons' experience, testimonials of previous patients, and how much the procedure costs.
Once you've looked at several different websites, make a list of possible choices. Contact them via email or video call and find out if they are a good choice for you. This is the perfect opportunity to ask all the questions you want.
