Traveling to South Korea for dental implants is a smart choice for many patients seeking world-class care and advanced technology at lower costs than in their home countries. However, even when procedures are more affordable abroad, the total cost—including travel, lodging, and treatment—can still add up. For many patients, this presents a financial challenge.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what medical travel financing means, why planning ahead is essential, and how Better by MTA supports you through your journey without promoting or selling financial products.
Why Financing Matters in Medical Tourism
Even if dental implants in South Korea are significantly less expensive than in your home country, upfront payment is typically required. These costs can include:
- Dental procedures (implant placement, crowns, etc.)
- Pre-op consultations and imaging
- Travel expenses (airfare, hotel)
- Post-op recovery and follow-up visits
Unlike domestic healthcare, where insurance might cover part of the procedure, international dental treatments often require full out-of-pocket payments. This is where medical travel financing comes in.
What Is Patient Financing?
Patient financing is a way to spread out the cost of medical or dental procedures over time through monthly payments. Rather than paying everything upfront, you can budget in manageable installments—often with flexible terms depending on your eligibility and the type of support you pursue.
Better by MTA helps patients understand financing as a concept, not as a product. We provide clarity about what to expect, how to plan, and what questions to ask—without recommending or selling specific lenders.
Common Questions About Financing Care Abroad
Can I finance my treatment abroad?
Yes, many patients use financing to make overseas treatment more accessible. While traditional insurance may not cover medical travel, various solutions—from personal budgeting to third-party loans—can help bridge the gap. Better by MTA offers guidance to help you explore what’s realistic for your situation.
What if I don’t have insurance?
Insurance rarely covers elective or international procedures like dental implants. If you’re uninsured or underinsured, financing options may be your primary tool to manage costs. Better by MTA can help you evaluate how to build a treatment budget, including unexpected expenses like travel and follow-ups.
Are monthly payment plans available?
Depending on your financial profile, payment plans may be an option through lenders or personal financing. Better by MTA doesn’t provide loans, but we help you understand the structure of repayment schedules, interest rates, and terms so you can make an informed choice that fits your needs.
