Is Medical Tourism Service Legal?
Yes, it is 100% legal. Eliminating and saving lot of money for a treatment is a choice of an individual. One can go outside of US or any other countries to seek medical treatment.

Do I Need to Go Abroad for Even a Simple Procedure?
Not necessarily. Although one can save substantial amount, a good rule of thumb is that if a hospital or a doctor in US quotes $6,000 or above for a procedure, then it is worthwhile looking at Medical Tourism options. Below this amount, due to the cost of air travel and accommodation, traveling abroad for a treatment may work out higher. Many patients also club their treatments along with their vacations in these countries. Also, one can choose countries that are close to US such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Barbados, etc., which can save on the overall expenses.

How Much Will I Save?
This entirely depends upon the kind of medical procedure.

Axpov emphasize heavily on high quality medical care. The hospitals that we have partnered have JCI accreditation or are in the process of getting this accreditation. They have high level of standards and criteria in the way they treat their patients. Most of their physicians are educated in UK or US and are board certified.

Will there be a Follow-up Care Once I Return Home?

We can arrange any necessary communication between the physician performing the surgery/treatment abroad and your local physician if needed.

Is it Safe to Fly After a Medical Procedure?
This all depends on the procedure. Your attending physician will be able to advise you better after the surgery/treatment, if you can travel.
