Medical Tourism in Mexico

Welcome to GDL Medical Link®, a company dedicated to offering medical tourism services to American citizens who are looking for excellent quality and affordable prices for their surgery and medical care needs.

In the last few years, the cost of medical care in the United States has risen so much that many Americans have decided to travel to less developed countries that offer medical, plastic and dental surgery—and more recently weight loss surgery—at much lower costs than what they would be charged in the United States. This phenomenon is generally known as health or medical tourism, but can also be referred to as a medical travel or medical outsourcing.

The concept is appealing when you consider that not only is the cost lower, but the quality of surgeries performed in other countries is the same—and sometimes even better—that what is offered in the United States.

Mexico is one of the leading countries in this growing trend thanks to its highly developed medical and hospital infrastructure.

There are various situations that could prompt you to turn to medical tourism. Among them are:

• You don’t have medical insurance.
• Your medical insurance isn’t sufficient or doesn’t cover the surgery you require.
• Your deductions and co-pays would generate huge expenses on your part.
• The company you work for has offered some kind of incentive if you agree to have your surgery performed in another country at a much lower cost.
• You propose this option to your employer in exchange for some other benefit for reducing insurance premiums or medical services your employer offers.
• Perhaps you are an employer looking for options to cut costs in your employee benefits and health care program.
• You simply want to take advantage of a relaxing trip and finish up with a surgery that you’ve need for some time.
• You may find yourself on a long wait list as the result of your health care system and you realize you can no longer afford to wait (e.g., Canadian citizens or people on insurance company wait lists).
• Your health insurance company doesn’t cover a certain type of surgery because its network doesn’t include doctors qualified to do the procedure.

As you can see, there are many reasons that could lead you to consider the option of having a surgery in another country where they offer you low costs, quality and personal attention.

In what countries or cities can you find this combination of low price and high quality that medical tourism offers?

In GDL Medical Link® we are aware of the quality of medical services that you can find around the world. We know, for example, of excellent medical tourism services in India, Thailand, Ireland, South America and other regions. But here in Guadalajara, Mexico, we can offer you several advantages that other places can’t:

• Top-rated hospitals completely equipped with the latest technology.
• Certified doctors, the majority of which graduated from European or American institutions, that are leaders in each of their specialties.
• Friendly and professional medical personnel who take pleasure in their work.
• Fair prices based on local rates, not the rates of the home country of the patient.
• Proximity: Guadalajara is just two to four hours from many U.S. airline hubs, such as Houston, Los Angeles and Atlanta and even has non-stop flights from cities like Chicago.

Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico with more than seven million inhabitants in the metropolitan area. It has one of the best hospital infrastructures in all of Latin America, the second best medical school in Mexico, and an impressive number of prestigious doctors. All of that, combined with a wide offering of hotels and tourist services, make Guadalajara the best option for organizing your medical tourism package.

In GDL Medical Link®, our mission as a medical tourism company is to help facilitate your medical travel experience and make it safe, successful and pleasant.

With that aim, we provide the following services:

• Selection of the adequate hospitals.
• Search for medical specialists.
• Quote of the cost of your surgery.
• Proposed budget of non-hospital expenses.
• Personal nurse (when necessary).
• Lodging in hotels near your hospital.
• Other services such as ground transportation.
• Translation of pre- and post-hospital records.
• Interpreters.
• Incorporation of your medical records.

We offer all these services while also ensuring that the costs are the same as those charged to local patients.

As you can see, there are many details associated with a medical tourism program. And while you can try to do it on your own, we recommend that you use our agency’s services so you don’t forget an important step that could lead to an unpleasant incident and diminish the quality of your experience as a medical tourist.
