International Orthopedic Care

You shouldn't have
to keep waiting
to live without pain.

If knee or hip pain is slowing you down, being stuck on a waiting list only makes things worse. Patients across the US are now choosing to travel abroad — faster access to experienced surgeons, modern hospitals, and a fraction of what it costs at home.

Why patients are choosing to travel

Joint pain shouldn't cost you $30,000 to $60,000
and months of your life.

In the US, the combination of high costs, long wait times, and insurance gaps leaves many patients living in pain longer than they should. There's a better path.

The US Reality
💸
$30,000–$60,000+ per procedure
Knee and hip replacements in the US often run between $30,000 and $60,000 — before anesthesia, facility fees, and post-op costs. Insurance coverage is rarely complete.
⏳
Months on a waiting list
Many patients wait months just to get on a surgery schedule — spending that time managing pain, avoiding activity, and watching their quality of life decline.
📋
Insurance gaps and denials
Even with insurance, many joint procedures are denied, delayed, or only partially covered — leaving patients to navigate complex appeals while their condition worsens.
The International Alternative
✅
60–80% lower estimated cost
The same procedures performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons in internationally accredited hospitals — often at a fraction of what you'd pay at home. Estimates are provided upfront.
📅
Faster scheduling
In many destinations, patients can be evaluated, scheduled, and treated within weeks — not months. You're not waiting for a system that's stretched thin.
🏥
Modern hospitals, qualified surgeons
MyMediTour works with JCI-accredited hospitals and board-certified orthopedic surgeons in Turkey, Colombia, Costa Rica, and South Korea — destinations with long track records in international patient care.

All cost figures are estimates and vary by procedure, patient case, and destination. MyMediTour does not guarantee pricing — final quotes are provided by providers after evaluation.

Questions we hear every day

Answers before you decide.

We know you have real questions — and you deserve real answers, not sales speak.

Many orthopedic surgeons in our partner hospitals are internationally trained — some completed fellowships or residencies in the US, UK, Germany, or France. MyMediTour only works with hospitals that meet strict quality standards, and many of our partner facilities are JCI-accredited (Joint Commission International), the same gold standard used to evaluate US hospitals. We do not work with facilities we haven't vetted.

Estimates from our partner hospitals typically include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, operating room, hospital stay, implants (where applicable), and standard post-op care. Flights and accommodation are not included unless specifically stated in your package. Final costs depend on your case and are confirmed by the provider after evaluation — estimates are not guaranteed prices.

This is one of the most important questions to ask. Standard post-op complications (infection, wound care, follow-up imaging) can be managed by a local physician at home using your surgical records — which we help you obtain and translate where needed. For rare serious complications, most partner hospitals have telemedicine follow-up protocols. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage for all international procedures.

It depends on the procedure. Knee and hip replacements typically require 2–3 weeks abroad — including 3–5 days in hospital and 10–14 days of in-country recovery before you're cleared to fly. Arthroscopic procedures generally require 7–10 days. Spine surgery timelines vary by complexity. Your coordinator will walk you through the recommended timeline for your specific case before you book anything.

Most US health insurance plans do not cover elective procedures performed abroad. Some self-funded employer plans, health-sharing ministries, or supplemental travel policies may offer partial reimbursement — it's worth checking with your plan administrator. Many of our patients are uninsured or paying out-of-pocket, which is why the cost savings abroad are often significant enough to make the decision straightforward.

No. MyMediTour is a medical tourism facilitator — we coordinate your care but do not perform procedures or provide medical advice. All surgical decisions are made by licensed physicians at our partner hospitals. Our role is to guide you through the process, connect you with the right specialists, handle logistics, and make sure you're informed at every step. We do not override medical decisions made by your provider.
