According to a 2014 International Medical Tourism Journal study, the cost of treatment in the USA. is 85% higher than that offered in countries like India, Mexico, etc. For instance, treatments such as knee replacement costing around USD 35,000 to USD 60,000 in the USA. cost less than USD 20,000 in Costa Rica and India, inclusive of lodging and airfare costs.
