SmartCare Worldwide Providing Solutions to Limited U.S. Dental Coverage with Medical Tourism in Costa Rica
Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- The Baby Boomer demographic is playing a huge role in the current era of dental medical tourism. Americans of all ages are being restricted from dental work due to extreme U.S. dental costs, are forced to succumb to these extreme U.S. costs, or are seeking concrete solutions through medical travel. For members of the baby boomer demographic, senior citizens and retirees, not receiving dental care is oftentimes not an option. It’s common for most people to have the most severe and complicated dental issues upon reaching retirement age. Senior citizens and retirees are the demographic suffering the most from the high dental costs in the U.S. because it prohibits them from getting necessary dental work completed. Baby Boomers often face prognoses of needing several crowns, bridges, implants and other complex major dental procedures. Many employee dental insurance programs terminate upon retirement, leaving the retiree to fend entirely for themselves.
What primarily drives people away from U.S. dental care is the exorbitant cost of U.S. dental procedures and a limited or lack of dental insurance coverage. Those who utilize medical tourism are receiving world-class healthcare at a fraction of U.S. costs. SmartCare Worldwide and medical tourism provides solid solutions to retirees looking for necessary dental care and saves Americans money with dramatically reduced rates for dental procedures.
SmartCare executive Rick Huntington commented in a recent interview: “The savings that come with traveling for dental care are extraordinary. Dental procedures in a country like Costa Rica can be up to 70% less than the same care in the United States. If you’re facing a $65,000 dental reconstruction in the U.S., you may be able to have the same procedures done by an exceedingly qualified doctor in Costa Rica for as little as $16,000. Dental crowns and veneers costing up to $1,200 in the U.S. can cost only $400 in Costa Rica. Our most recent dental patient from Houston is a good example – That patient received five dental implants for $8,000 when those implants could cost $30,000 in the U.S.”
Concerns about the quality of healthcare through medical tourism are a thing of the past. Patients traveling to Costa Rica for dental procedures recognize the world-class medical and dental care, professionals and facilities in SmartCare’s vetted healthcare network and see that it’s safe and affordable to undergo other types of procedures such as Cosmetic, Orthopedic and Bariatric surgeries through medical tourism.
Huntington concluded his interview by saying: “Healthcare issues in the U.S. are causing Americans to seek alternative dental and medical solutions. We’re offering those solutions through our medical travel facilitation. Primary healthcare providers, locations and accommodations have been carefully vetted and all services can be arranged with just one phone call. The emergence of professional medical travel facilitators like SmartCare Worldwide has taken the anxiety and guesswork out of medical travel – What remains is world class medical care at a fraction of the cost, in a recovery environment that doubles as one of the most beautiful and exotic vacation destinations in the world.”
