The United States is one of the most expensive countries in the world for endometriosis surgery, with laparoscopic surgery costing between $10,000 and $30,000 on average, and excision surgery costing between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on the surgeon, hospital, and insurance coverage.
In other countries, laparoscopic and excision surgery can range from $3,000 to $12,000, including the hospital fees. As a result, seeking treatment outside of the United States has become increasingly common for endometriosis patients. Traveling abroad, even after accounting for airfare and lodging, can cost 30-80% less than paying for surgery in the United States.
To help provide support for all options for endometriosis care, we are so excited to partner with Healing Journey Medical Travel, an incredible organization that brings structured medical coordination, guidance, and continuity to every stage of the patient journey before, during, and after treatment.
After explaining the barriers to endometriosis care in the United States, the incredible people at this organization wanted to help in whatever capacity they could. If you are seeking endometriosis care outside the United States and don’t know where to start, we recommend visiting https://healingjourney.travel/.
* Patients should always evaluate a surgeon’s experience with endometriosis excision, complication rates, multidisciplinary care, and long-term outcomes.
