HIP REPLACEMENT + HIP RESURFACING

One of the most common medical procedures in the US is hip replacement and hip resurfacing.
On average, the cost for each procedure is $50,000.
This of course varies, depending on the patient's condition and history but that is the nation's average.

In Korea, the average cost of the same exact procedure is $15,000. This of course varies depending on one's condition but compared to the US national average of $50K, Korea's $15K is a bargain.

There are many other countries that offer the procedure for less if your budget does not allow you to fund procedures in Korea. However, do keep in mind that Korea is an economy that is #13 in the world. The capital of Korea looks much the same as New York City.

I read an article of a Russian conglomerate having heart bypass surgery in India and a few years later had to redo the surgery; he chose South Korea as his medical destination. When looking for destinations abroad to fulfill your medical needs, I would choose a place that meets your budget of course and a country that is more advanced and developed in terms of medical procedures.

This is my finding for the day, if you are thinking of a hip replacement, consider South Korea! Even with hotel, travel, medical costs and even possibly a short vacation around Korea, you can get it for 50% of the price of the US.
