Find Medical Travel Services
There are a number of services in Canada that have come into being due to the lack of access to medical care here at home. These are often referred to as medical advisors, medical brokers or health travel planners. Some are independent businesses that specialize in providing medical access in Canada or in the United States. Others are local contacts for large international medical organizations. Due to partnerships with renowned health care centers and medical specialists, brokers are able to guide you through the necessary steps, paperwork and costs. They make all the arrangements for your health care.
Josef Woodman, independent expert on medical tourism, strongly recommends the services of a medical broker. In Woodman’s book, "Patients Beyond Borders: Everybody’s Guide to Affordable, World-Class Medical Tourism" (Available at www.amazon.ca), he argues that medical brokers are worth more than the fees that are paid to them.
