Undergoing spinal surgery can be a life-changing decision, especially when it’s done in a trusted international destination like India—known for high-quality care at affordable prices. However, even with competitive rates, the upfront costs of surgery, travel, and accommodation can still be a challenge. If you’re wondering how to pay for surgery abroad or what medical travel financing really involves, this guide is here to help.
At Better by MTA, we don’t sell financial products. Instead, we act as your trusted partner—educating, empowering, and helping you explore your options so you can focus on healing, not worrying.
What is Patient Financing?
Patient financing is a way to spread out the cost of medical or dental treatment through monthly payments rather than paying everything upfront. It's especially helpful for international patients who might be facing additional expenses like travel, lodging, or follow-up care.
Whether you’re considering complex spinal procedures or even dental work overseas, the cost can still be substantial even in countries like India, where treatment is more affordable than in many Western nations. This is where financing becomes a practical solution.
Why Do I Need Financing If India Is Affordable?
It’s true—India offers some of the most cost-effective spinal surgeries in the world. However, many patients must pay out-of-pocket for:
- Surgical procedures
- Pre-operative diagnostics
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Flights, visas, and hotel stays
- Local transportation and meals
- Emergency or extended care
These combined costs can exceed several thousand dollars, which may not be readily available. For patients without comprehensive insurance or immediate savings, medical travel financing helps close the gap between care and cost.
Can I Finance My Treatment Abroad?
Yes, you can. Many patients seeking international treatment do not have full insurance coverage or immediate access to large sums of cash. That’s where financing options come in. Some patients explore:
- Monthly installment plans
- Zero- or low-interest promotional payment periods
- Medical-specific credit plans
- Personal budgeting strategies
However, understanding and choosing the right path can be overwhelming without expert guidance.
What If I Don’t Have Insurance?
Many patients traveling abroad for spinal surgery either don’t have insurance or find that their domestic policies don’t cover overseas procedures. In such cases, financing isn’t just helpful—it can be essential.
Better by MTA steps in to offer education and tools to help you:
- Estimate your total treatment and travel costs
- Understand upfront payment expectations
- Explore repayment timelines that match your income
- Navigate financing options even without traditional insurance support
Our approach ensures you're not left guessing or feeling alone in your decision.
Are Monthly Payment Plans Available?
In many cases, yes. Monthly payment plans can be arranged through financial institutions or third-party platforms that cater specifically to medical travel. But since Better by MTA doesn’t push specific lenders or services, our goal is to help you:
- Understand if monthly payments are realistic for your situation
- Break down total costs into manageable portions
- Compare interest rates, repayment lengths, and fine print
- Develop a personalized medical travel budget
Monthly plans bring peace of mind—but only when you have the full picture.
