Two other popular medical tourism destinations are Singapore and Mexico.
Singapore offers everything from general health treatments to treatments for heart diseases. The cost though a little more than India is substantially low when compared with the US.
Mexico is a hot destination for dental works. Crowns, implants, bridges, veneers, etc. are much much cheaper in Mexico than in the US. You will never need to pay a penny of premium to your dental insurance.
