When costly dental or medical procedures became unavoidable, many people from countries with a higher cost of living are willing to consider getting it done overseas. Cost is one of the main reasons why people travel overseas for medical procedures. In some countries, elective procedures can cost a fraction of the price of getting it done in the US or Europe. Medical tourism is not for everyone, but it’s not as crazy as it sounds.


Taylor Wallace of The Fit Founder joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in talking about the realities of medical tourism in this week’s episode of The New Nomad. They talked about their own experiences and reasons why they preferred having a procedure done overseas and the risks it involves. Whether or not you choose overseas or have the procedure done locally, remember that you're financially responsible for costs incurred during and after treatment overseas. So tune in to The New Nomad for tips in your travels.
