New online marketplace for domestic and inbound US medical tourism

VoyagerMed has launched an online marketplace for domestic and inbound US medical tourists.

The website makes it easy for Americans to find the best specialist when travelling to and within the USA based on desired expertise, insurance cover, ratings, and out of pocket costs.

Patients can search, evaluate and choose from a marketplace of over 14,000 doctors using 11 languages, 14 currencies, and then book travel to over 50 of the most popular destinations throughout the United States.

The company estimates that for several years inbound medical tourism has seen over 400,000 international travellers visit US hospitals and clinics each year; with recent numbers probably much higher and the potential much higher. The website seeks to solve one of the key problems holding back inbound medical tourism, that unless medical tourists target a particular hospital, finding out which places seek and offer facilities for international patients is not easy.

The company is focused solely on U.S. licensed doctors who serve the needs of travelling patients from within the USA or overseas, seeking high quality outcomes and not necessarily the lowest cost option.

Anthony Girand of VoyagerMed explains, “We are connecting patients exclusively with U.S. licensed. Unlike other medical tourism operators who find the cheapest treatment options, we only want the best but at an affordable cost.”

VoyagerMed lets users sort through doctors based on ratings, location, price, insurance and other factors to find the best doctors that specialize in a given procedure. Each doctor’s page provides an introduction to that doctor, a street view of the clinic or hospital, qualifications, accepted insurance, and price transparency .It is all linked to an integrated hotel and flight reservation system through travel provider Expedia.

The site offers treatment for cosmetic surgery, orthopaedics and dental in their initial beta launch, to be followed by spine, fertility, weight loss, addiction treatment, ophthalmology and others.

The company focuses on the most popular places in the USA that people travel to for medical treatment including New York, Miami and Las Vegas

VoyagerMed is based in New York City and the online marketplace makes it easier for people to quickly search, evaluate and coordinate travel to the doctor that is the right fit for them.
