Medical Tourism Episode: 77 - Rock Your Retirement Show




Rock Your Retirement Show show

Summary: Medical tourism can be defined as the process of traveling outside the country of residence for the purpose of receiving medical care.<br> OMG, I had two guests on this episode, so you get two for the price of one!  Or is it double trouble?  I’ll let you decide.<br> I brought Billy and Akaisha Kaderli on the show for a couple of reasons. They retired when they were 38 years old.  Yes, you read that correctly.  So they have now beat out <a href="http://rockyourretirement.com/podcast/retire-at-age-40/">WENDY HOLT</a> for being the youngest retiree on the show.  Or should I use my new word <a href="http://rockyourretirement.com/blog/time-shifting-new-retirement-boomers/">Time Shifter</a>?  you can read more about Time shifting on the Rock your Retirement website. Billy and Akaisha are experts in a lot of areas, including Medical Tourism which is another reason I wanted them on the show.<br> Billy and Aikaisha feel that the medical care they receive outside of the US is better than the care they receive in the US and at a fraction of the price. After 5 weeks in Mexico, Billy needed a new crown. He was able to see four different dentists and get his issue resolved.  It only cost him $4,900 pesos or about $250 US dollars!<br> Things you may not have known about Medical Tourism:<br> <br> * Many doctors train overseas and then practice in the US<br> * Medical providers usually speak English<br> <br> * Or you can get a translator that does<br> <br> <br> * Thailand has the best Medical tourism<br> <br> * According to the Kaderlis<br> <br> <br> * You’ll know in advance what your medical procedure is going to cost<br> * Some providers offer concierge service<br> <br> * They’ll come to you!<br> <br> <br> * You can get same day service<br> <br> We also spent some time talking about:<br> <br> * How they decided to retire so early and how it affected their relationship<br> * Living outside of the US and how they dealt with the culture shock.<br> <br> Today’s Freebie is “Top 10 Questions and Answers on Medical Tourism” which you can get by going to: <a href="http://www.RockYourRetirement.com/MedicalTourism">www.RockYourRetirement.com/MedicalTourism</a><br> Billy and Akaisha’s website is <a href="http://retireearlylifestyle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RetireEarlyLifestyle.com</a> and if you want to check out their Medical Tourism Page to look at clinics and hospitals you can go <a href="http://retireearlylifestyle.com/medical_tourism.htm">HERE</a><br> Books: <br> <br> * <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Your-Retirement-Dream-Possible-Adventurers-ebook/dp/B018IGTEKO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Your Retirement Dream is Possible</a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Adventurers-Guide-Chapala-Living-Approach-ebook/dp/B018IYXMRM/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492636820&amp;sr=1-1">The Adventurer’s Guide to Chapala Living: A Common Sense Approach to your New Life in Chapala, Mexico</a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Retire-Early-Lifestyle-Questions-Answers-ebook/dp/B019VMIGV2/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492637211&amp;sr=1-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Retire Early Lifestyle: Your Questions Our Answered</a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Adventurers-Guide-Pana-Living-Panajachel-ebook/dp/B06XFYDJTF/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492637116&amp;sr=1-2">The Adventurer’s Guide to Pana Living: Living in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala</a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cut-Run-Report-First-Retirement-ebook/dp/B018WGB0FC/ref=sr_1_10?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492637471&amp;sr=1-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cut and Run Report:  Our First 200 Days of Retirement</a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Adventurers-Guide-Pacific-Coast-Mexico-ebook/dp/B018Q2UQ8Y/ref=sr_1_3?"></a>
