is hosting the first in a series of events to help individuals explore
how to access high-quality, financially viable healthcare options
outside of the U.S. The no-cost event is open to the public and will be
held on Saturday, October 22 at The Department in Phoenix and at SkySong
in Scottsdale on October 23.
Featured speakers will be four of MedRepublic’s highest-rated surgeons:
Tomas Escalante, M.D.; general surgeon specializing in minimally
invasive and weight loss surgery; plastic surgeon Allan Ceballos, M.D.;
orthopedic surgeon Gerardo Mangino, M.D.; and dental surgeon Joaquin
Berron, D.D.S. Additionally, several Phoenix-area patients will share
their personal experiences of healthcare abroad.
Robert Page, M.D., a long-time family practice physician and former
chief-of-staff of Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, will be co-hosting the
event.
Affordable Care Act Causing More Patients to
Consider Medical Tourism
According to Robert Page, founder of MedRepublic, “The Affordable Care
Act (Obamacare) succeeded in providing healthcare coverage for millions
of Americans, but also caused many insurance companies to cut back or
entirely exit the market. This has been especially true in Arizona,
where thousands of patients and small business owners have been forced
to seek alternatives for addressing healthcare needs while managing
costs.”
Patients Beyond Borders estimates that as many as 1.4 million Americans
travel annually to access the most innovative and cost-efficient
healthcare treatments, primarily in fields such as dentistry, orthopedic
and plastic surgery, and surgical weight-loss.
“Many people consider medical tourism to be a viable option, but are
uncertain how to proceed,” said Page, who co-authored several popular
guidebooks identifying top-rated overseas doctors prior to establishing
MedRepublic as a company. “It is our hope that by offering these
seminars, patients will learn more about their options, including
MedRepublic, which is designed to provide safe, high-quality care
options that also help bridge the affordability gap.”
