According to provider reports to the media, 750,000 Americans traveled abroad for medical care in 2007.

Over 6 million Americans are projected to go abroad for medical care in 2010.

Global market value forecast to reach $100 billion by 2012.

U.S. market forecast to grow 1000% and reach a $21 billion market value by 2012.

Research reveals the potential for 20-40% of the non-urgent care market to opt for care abroad if a $10,000 inpatient incentive is in place.

More than 250 US employers currently have access agreements in place to permit their employees to access care from foreign hospitals and physicians. Many of those agreements cover companion traveler costs, business class airfare, and waive co-payments and deductibles if the foreign provider is chosen over higher-cost, similarly qualified and credentialed domestic
providers.
