Costa Rican Medical Care Announces Health Care Seminar

"More than 100,000 medical tourists, most of them Americans, are expected to travel to Costa Rica over the next five years solely for the benefit of less expensive medical services", says the Costa Rican Ministry of Tourism.

Lake Geneva, WI (PRWEB) March 15, 2009

Costa Rican Medical Care (CRMC), a division of HSA Clearing Corp, will be sponsoring a health care seminar in San Jose, Costa Rica May 12 and 13, 2009.

Health care costs in the United States have exploded in the last few years, but the same procedures are very affordable in Costa Rica. Many people and/or employers that have to pay out of pocket don't realize they have other options which can keep them healthy and save money at the same time. Working with the finest private hospitals and physicians in Costa Rica, CRMC will help people save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on certain medical care procedures.

"The propose of this seminar is for insurance company executives, employee benefit mangers, health insurance agents, third-party administrators, and other interested parties to experience first hand the hospitals and physicians and meet some of their staff. Once people see the quality of the health care Costa Rica has to offer, they will be comfortable working with us and recommending our services to their clients," said Tim Morales, President of HSA Clearing Corp. "The only way to bring down healthcare costs in this country is to show people what prices are elsewhere and let them compare."

"More than 100,000 medical tourists, most of them Americans, are expected to travel to Costa Rica over the next five years solely for the benefit of less expensive medical services", says the Costa Rican Ministry of Tourism.
