Medical Tourism - boon for U.S. employers
More employers in the U.S today,prefer to send their employees abroad for health care,in order to curtail the huge dent made in their pockets for the same facilities at home.There is a marked change from the earlier trend, when individuals went abroad for less expensive medical procedures. Today, an increasing number of companies are availing of Medical Tourism to cut down on spiraling medical bills. Low priced quality health care in hospitals in Costa Rica, India and Singapore make them sought after destinations.
But all is not easy going for the companies. They have to convince the employees and the unions that the quality of the health care they receive so far away from the U.S. is in no way compromised.Companies are resorting to a carrot and stick
technique to encourage their employees to opt for medical treatment overseas; half the cost of the treatment will be met by the company if the treatment is done abroad and vice versa if not.
What ever the case may be, it does seem like Medical Tourism is all set to take off in the U.S.more on employers and Medical Tourism
