Why patients choose MedicalBridge
A marketplace for global healthcare, expanding access to reliable and affordable care through vetted providers abroad. Comparing your options is always free.
Vetted Providers
Every provider earns their place
Before you can choose a provider on MedicalBridge, their practice goes through a long vetting process led by U.S. medical professionals. The same applies to the logistics coordinators who handle your trip.
Three checks before any provider earns our U.S. Verified badge
Peer-nominated
Providers join by nomination from other medical professionals for their clinical excellence.
Reviewed by U.S. professionals
Practicing U.S. healthcare professionals independently review training, facilities, materials and track record.
Audited on site
U.S. medical professionals visit each practice in person and check the premises, equipment and patient-care processes against standards recognized in the U.S.
Earns the U.S. Verified badge
Earned through vetting, never bought. Only providers who pass all three checks can show it on their profile.
What the U.S. Verified badge means
When you see the U.S. Verified badge on a provider, that practice has gone through our full vetting process, including an on-site audit by U.S. medical professionals, to confirm it follows high standards recognized in the U.S.
Medical providers
We focus on outpatient specialties with predictable treatment plans, so vetting can go deep.
Logistics coordinators
The teams who arrange your lodging, local transport and translation are audited on site in the same way.
Every logistics coordinator offers bilingual support (English-Spanish).
Transparent Pricing
See your full price before you accept care
Compare vetted medical and logistics providers at no cost. You get all-inclusive estimates before you commit to anything.
Comparing providers and getting your estimate is free.
Why you typically pay less through MedicalBridge
International providers spend heavily on marketing to reach U.S. patients, and that cost ends up in the price they quote directly. MedicalBridge is a more efficient channel built on trust: vetted providers grow their referrals at a much lower cost, so they can offer you better pricing and more support.
Going direct
- Price includes the cost of reaching U.S. patients
- You vet providers on your own
- You may not see the final price until it's too late to change plans
- Travel and logistics are up to you
- No aftercare support or MedicalBridge team on your side
Through MedicalBridge
- Lower acquisition cost, passed on as better pricing
- Every provider vetted and audited on site
- Transparent pricing before you accept care, with no surprises
- Vetted logistics and bilingual (English-Spanish) support included
- Aftercare support and our team on your side, always
Staying on the MedicalBridge platform is what keeps these protections in place, from your first quote to your last follow-up.
Why care costs less abroad
Lower prices don't come from cutting corners. Providers in our network are well paid in their local markets. Savings come from a lower cost of living and local currencies, which keep operating costs down.
Paying for care
Providers accept major credit cards, digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and bank transfers, all through secure payment methods that protect patients and providers alike. You can pay with confidence.
You'll know the estimated total before you travel, with no surprise line items.
