Cosmetic surgery in Costa Rica - Treatment costs

Costa Rica offers savings for international patients, even with the cost of travel and accommodation on top, and is especially popular with US medical tourists, particularly those who may have reduced their insurance policy allowances then find they need to self-pay for treatments privately.

In Costa Rica the overheads are lower, the cost of labour and medical equipment is cheaper and combined with a favourable exchange rate, private healthcare in Costa Rica is typically available at around 50% cheaper than in the US or Europe.

With BridgeHealth International, an international medical tourist company which sends patients to Costa Rica for neurosurgery, the cost of a discetomy with Lumbar decompression costs US$11,500, and a laminectomy C3C6 and Posterior Fusion US$12,950 (excluding cost of devices). A Transsphenoidal Adenomectomy costs $15,000 USD.

US, UK or Western European patients could find that combining a dream holiday in Costa Rica with some private treatment leaves them with a bill around the same if they had only had the procedure done at home.
