medicalprocedures.co was created because navigating the cost of healthcare shouldn't require a finance degree. When you're facing a medical procedure, you deserve clear information about what it costs, where you can get it done, and what quality of care to expect.
What We Do
We research and compare medical procedure pricing across the United States, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Turkey, and Thailand. Our cost data comes from published provider pricing, medical tourism facilitators, peer-reviewed healthcare economics research, and direct clinic outreach. Every figure on this site represents typical 2026 ranges—not guarantees.
Why Colombia?
We're upfront about this: we believe Colombia represents the best value proposition in medical tourism for North American patients. It's the #1-ranked health system in the Western Hemisphere (WHO #22 globally, from the 2000 World Health Report), with 12+ JCI-accredited hospitals, board-certified surgeons who often train internationally, direct flights from major US cities, no visa requirement, and pricing that's typically 50–85% less than US equivalents.
That said, we present information on all major destinations so you can make an informed choice. We don't hide data that might favor another country.
Who We Are
medicalprocedures.co is operated by Scout Theory LLC, a digital media company based in Ohio, USA with operations in Medellín, Colombia. We operate a network of medical tourism informational sites including colombiamedical.co, specialty procedure guides, and cost comparison tools.
How We Make Money
We're a referral service. When we connect you with a clinic or provider and you proceed with treatment, we may receive a referral fee from the provider. This doesn't cost you anything extra—it's built into the provider's marketing budget. We only partner with accredited, credentialed providers we'd feel comfortable recommending to our own families.
Our Standards
We never fabricate statistics, testimonials, reviews, or clinic names. We never guarantee pricing or outcomes. We always disclose when information has limitations (like the WHO ranking methodology). And we always encourage you to do your own due diligence—consult your physician, verify credentials, and make the decision that's right for your health and circumstances.
