Financing Offered for Costa Rican Medical Procedures

Costa Rican Medical Care (CRMC), a medical tourism company specializing in Costa Rica, announced that it will assist patients in financing their medical care in that Central American country.

“Costa Rican Medical Care is proud to announce that we have put together a group of lenders that are willing to provide financing for medical procedures done in the U.S., Costa Rica or anywhere”, said CRMC president Tim Morales. “You cannot plan for a medical emergency and sometimes you may forget that you have a deductible to meet. Other people would like to get a procedure done and haven’t saved up enough to cover the complete cost. But CRMC can help you determine whether you qualify for a medical loan.

“We met with many of our medical providers in Costa Rica last month and they were very excited about offering financing options because they have also received many requests from patients for this service. We are already receiving referrals from them.”

A recent report on Medical Tourism by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions said that an estimated 1.6 million Americans will travel abroad for medical care by 2012. Americans can save 30% to 70% on Bariatric surgery, dental, cosmetic surgery, hip or knee replacements and other medical procedures in Costa Rica, according to CRMC.

Costa Rica is only 2-½ hours from Miami, three hours from Dallas. That proximity to the U.S., coupled with high standards of care are major advantages for Costa Rica’s medical travel market, according to Morales.

Costa Rican Medical Care will be showcasing their services at the First Latin America Global Medicine & Wellness Congress in San Jose, Costa Rica April 26-28. For more information, contact Tim Morales at Costa Rican Medical Care at (262) 348-1300 or visit http://www.costaricanmedicalcare.com.
