Med tourism in Costa Rica
Hello all!
I am considering Costa Rica for medical tourism.
Is there a way to avoid Gringo prices? I was quoted outrageous prices from Cima for mri with and without contrast, totalling over $2000. You read that right. I heard prices were more like $200.
I read orthopedics is common in CR. Aint no way people are paying more over than than over here. Im doing something wrong obviously!
Im also getting dental if i go.
Im open to suggestions even if its for other countries. I can always take my gringo $$$ elsewhere.
