Our Data & Methodology
How we research, verify, and present medical tourism information.
How We Research Prices
We build our price ranges using multiple sources, then cross-check for consistency. Our process prioritizes official and verifiable sources first.
- Official hospital international patient price lists (where publicly available)
- Medical tourism industry reports (Patients Beyond Borders, IMTJ)
- Direct inquiries to hospital international departments
- Cross-referencing with patient-reported costs from forums and reviews
Prices are ranges, not guarantees. Your actual cost depends on complexity, surgeon, materials, and additional services.

How We Select Hospitals
We include hospitals based on transparent research criteria, not commercial ranking arrangements.
- JCI accreditation status (verified via JCI directory)
- International patient volume (publicly reported figures)
- Language capabilities and international support
- Specialization areas relevant to common medical travel needs
- Patient satisfaction data (where publicly available)
We do not accept payment from hospitals for listing or ranking. Hospitals are included based on research criteria.
What We Don't Know
- We cannot verify individual surgeon credentials beyond what hospitals publish.
- Complication rates specific to medical tourists are not publicly tracked in one unified dataset.
- Prices change frequently, so you should always confirm directly with hospitals.
- We have not personally visited every hospital listed.
How to Verify Information Yourself
- JCI accreditation lookup: jointcommissioninternational.org
- Thailand references: Ministry of Public Health and Tourism Authority of Thailand medical tourism resources
- South Korea references: VisitMedicalKorea.com and Korea Health Industry Development Institute resources
- Always request a detailed written quote before committing.
- Ask for before/after photos and patient references where relevant.
