Risk and Acceptance

All surgical procedures carry a certain degree of risk. Even the most skilled physicians may have an adverse outcome from a procedure. When a medical traveler has a negative outcome it is natural to wonder if it was due to physical training or a substandard hospital.

Adverse events are also related to pre-existing health conditions, not the fault of the physician.

As a medical facilitator, MTM assists clients in their selection of medical travel experience. Our global network links clients with certified physicians and accredited treatment facilities. We arrange travel accommodations, assist in the transmission of medical records, and facilitate payments. In addition, MTM can provide risk insurance in the form of travel and complication coverage. We can assist in the coordination of postoperative follow-up in the client’s community after they return home. These elective services can lessen the risks associated with any medical procedure.

While a few years ago safety concerns appeared to be the largest hurdle for consumers to overcome, today it appears that liability issues have eclipsed this issue. Fortunately, companies are beginning to offer solutions. Liability insurance coverage is now available from several companies offering many options.
