The cost of specialized medical services in the U.S. is considered among the highest in the world. This is why, in the last decade, many Americans have decided to travel abroad for medical tourism to receive more affordable medical treatments, to Canada and Mexico. However, these savings can also increase risks, not only of the procedure itself but also related to travel and post-procedure care.
Many Americans are unaware that the costs of medical services can vary from one state to another. According to an analysis by Harvard University, New York, California, Massachusetts, Texas, and New Jersey have the highest costs for specialized medical services. In states such as Hawaii, Oregon, and Arizona, more affordable medical services can be found.
Traveling to another state to receive high-quality medical care at affordable prices is a wonderful option, as you will not be leaving the U.S., and you will have the assurance of receiving the best care. Arizona has established itself as a leading destination in this field, offering excellent medical services, innovative technology, and a safe and welcoming environment for both domestic and international patients.
Arizona is a growing state with a geographical location that places it between the two largest states in the U.S.: California and Texas, so you can reach any of its cities by air or land at low costs, unlike traveling to cities in Canada or Mexico, which do not have the same transportation infrastructure.
Arizona has a developed tourism infrastructure, offering a wide range of accommodation options and transportation services tailored to the needs of patients. Similarly, the costs of medium- and long-term accommodation, necessary for some treatments and postoperative processes, are competitive, and many places often offer discounts for longer stays.
Regarding healthcare costs, in Arizona you will find high-quality medical care, with specialists in various treatments at more affordable prices compared to other regions of the United States.
Medical institutions in Arizona, such as Mitogenesis, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and highly trained staff. Mitogenesis provides integrative and regenerative therapies using Swiss biological medicine to treat diseases like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and chronic conditions in a comprehensive way.
You can also be sure that the medical services and staff are certified, unlike in other countries, where it is hard to verify medical specialists' certifications.
Unlike other healthcare systems where waiting lists can be long, even in private clinics abroad that have waiting times of months, in Arizona, patients usually receive medical care in shorter times. For example, at Mitogenesis, the average wait time for an appointment is less than a couple of weeks.
The warm and dry climate of Arizona is ideal for the recovery process of certain ailments. Moreover, the abundant sunlight and natural landscapes provide an ideal environment to aid emotional well-being, which is key to recovery, for an illness must not only be treated in the body but also in the mind and emotions.
Arizona is the perfect combination of big cities and natural gems that you can enjoy on your trip before and after receiving the best medical care you need.
Mexico's low costs and proximity to the US make it a top medical tourism destination for Americans. However, there are many variables that must be considered and those can increase the risk of complication, not only at the medical level but also personally.
Currently, it is a country with many hotspots of violence. International patients prioritize security as their primary concern. Recent alerts issued by the U.S. Department of State warn about security risks in certain regions of Mexico, including incidents of violence and kidnappings.
Similarly, although most clinics that offer medical services to tourists usually claim that the medical professionals are certified and trained, it is not always easy to verify the doctors' experience, and in case of complications or legal matters, the entire process must be carried out in Mexico, which limits options for U.S. citizens.
In contrast, Arizona offers a safer and more stable environment for patients seeking quality medical care. You will have the support and security of your country, and you do not have to go through additional procedures to travel.
