Medical and Dental Tourism to the United States
 
Many American Dentists and Doctors of various medical specialties are
reporting a marked increase of foreign tourists from the UK, Canada,
and several European countries to many American cities for
professional care that is either unavailable in their own countries or
with such long waiting times from their national health care systems
that by the time they can get service, they are a lot sicker or even
dead. Although rich people have done this for a long time, the cheap
dollar has made this option available to many of middle class means.-

Easy to claim. Hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

Always has done, fool.

Normally people go to countries where its cheaper, not 10x more
expensive. If the treatment you need is only available in US, be
prepared for a thorough financial looting.

The correct way to go about it is to negotiate a treatment plan before
you depart, in writing, with costs and maximums agreed upon in
advance. There are many providers, and if you are paying cash,
typically care providers will cut 30% to 50% off the top because you
have saved them the cost, hassle and delays associated with their
collection efforts from the insurers. Insurers almost never pay 100%
of their asking costs, and neither should you. Do not pay more than
10% deposit in advance. -Jitney

Odd - they mostly go to Bulgaria or other ex Eastern Block places. Can't
think why they'd go all the way to the States when adequate treatment is
available nearer and cheaper.

Most people have more sense than to go for cutting edge anything - it's
too easy to cut yourself.

We leave that sort of thing to people with more money than sense.
