Medical Tourism: 2008 Survey of Health Care Consumers
Thinking of going abroad for surgery? You’re not alone.

Deloitte found that "medical tourism" is a hot trend among U.S. health care consumers. Nearly 40 percent said they would travel outside the country for medical treatment, if the quality was comparable and the cost was cut in half.

But the level of interest differed widely by gender, age group, ethnic category and types of insurance the respondents carried. Most notably, men are much more likely than women to consider a trip abroad for treatment, by a margin of 44.5 to 33.3 percent. Additional highlights:

By Age Group:

51.1 percent of Gen Y would engage in medical tourism
41.9 percent of Gen X
36.7 percent of Baby Boomers
29.1 percent of Seniors
By Ethnic Breakdown:

56.8 percent of Asians are likely to go abroad for less expensive medical treatment
51.1 percent of Hispanics
37.8 percent of Caucasians
36.9 percent of African-Americans

Medical Tourism: Emerging Phenomenon in Health Care Industry
Many patients are traveling great distances to obtain quality care at lower cost

The impact of dramatically rising U.S. health care costs is prompting increasing numbers of consumers to consider outbound medical tourism as a viable care option. In 2007, an estimated 750,000 Americans traveled abroad for medical care; this number is anticipated to increase to six million by 2010. Concurrently, inbound medical tourism and medical tourism across state lines continue to present opportunities for specialty hubs offering treatments unavailable elsewhere in the world or in a community setting.

Medical Tourism: Consumers in Search of Value, a new paper from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, part of Deloitte LLP, examines the growth of medical tourism: the hot spots for outbound and inbound programs and factors important to the attractiveness of both.
