For ASCs that engage in medical tourism as a strategy, the competition is getting tougher. From simple procedures to all-inclusive hotel practices, medical tourism is increasingly about the quality and experience, rather than the cost. For instance, some medical tourism patients are increasingly electing to have orthopedic and heart procedures performed in Asia, which has historically been a destination for plastic surgery, according to an article from Forbes.
