Thank you for clearing that up. I mean, silly me looking at saving $10K on a $25K medical procedure. I am so totally messed up.

And the Medicaid thing - uh, what about the other 100 million people that don't qualify for Medicaid - they make too much but can't afford the $25K medical procedure I just had, that insurance won't cover.

Oh, and to clarify for me, I could afford a couple $500 round-trip tickets to Ecuador (2019), so I should be able to afford a $25K medical procedure and not bother saving $10K in the process.

Would you please clarify that for me? I missed it when I made my decision - I thought I was saving 40% on the cost of the procedure while getting paid for vacation to an exotic foreign country. Is it unAmerican to save 40% on a $25K medical procedure?

I KNEW this thread would end up here. If it continues, I will just end the discussion. It is sad we can't even discuss this topic. I have had several members ask for information privately, it seems I am not the only one that likes to save money.
Un-American? You may have your usual agenda. I’m talking about safety in seeking medical/dental care outside of this country. Between the dental care/procedures and safety in third world countries, Americans are at risk choosing these services. May I ask what form of payment is accepted; personal check or charge card? It a matter of choices but sooner or later, everyone’s luck runs out.

It works for you now, go for it. Anyone considering cutting that corner should surely do their homework thoroughly before engaging in those services.
