The Process

How It Works — Guided Medical Travel
Step by Step.

Every step is at your own pace. No pressure at any stage. The only cost before your full care proposal is the Step 2 specialist assessment — which is applied in full toward your care if you proceed. Everything else comes after you have reviewed and accepted your proposal.

Step 1 · No Cost

Free Guidance Session

A 30-minute call with your GESTUR PrimeCare coordinator. You share your situation; we explain what’s possible. In English or French. No commitment.

100% Free
Step 2 · Meet Your Doctor

Specialist Assessment

A telemedicine appointment with a board-certified specialist — the actual doctor who may perform your procedure. A genuine medical assessment, not a sales call.

$250 CAD / $180 USD Applied in full toward your treatment if you proceed
Step 3 · Full Transparency

Your Care Proposal

A complete, itemized quote — every cost explained. No surprises. No payment requested until you have read, understood, and accepted every item.

Step 4 · Fully Managed

At-Destination Coordination

You book your own flight to Mexico — your GESTUR PrimeCare coordinator handles everything from the moment you arrive at your destination. We arrange airport pickup, accommodation, all all local transportation, hospital transfers, and pre-operative preparation. A written Care Agreement details every included service.

Step 5 · Fully Supported

Treatment & Return

Your English-speaking surgical team. Your coordinator reachable throughout — including via a dedicated Canadian support line. Discharge documentation for your Canadian physician.

Hear from patients who chose not to wait.

★★★★★

“I was told to expect a 2-year wait for my hip. I couldn’t walk to the mailbox without pain. GESTUR PrimeCare handled every detail — I had surgery in 6 weeks and was hiking again by month four. My Canadian doctor was impressed with the surgical report.”

Is medical financing available?

Yes. Specialized medical financing options are available for Canadian and American patients through healthcare financing partners. This can help spread the cost of your procedure over time. Ask us for details during your free guidance session.

Do you help with travel health insurance?

We work with medical travel insurance providers whose coverage is specifically designed for patients undergoing procedures abroad — including protection for travel accidents and potential complications, which standard travel insurance often excludes. We can connect you with options during your care preparation phase.

Is surgery in Mexico actually safe?

Yes — when done through a service that works exclusively with internationally accredited facilities and board-certified surgeons. The key is vetting. Every hospital and physician in our network meets international accreditation standards equivalent to top Canadian hospitals. Medical tourism is well-established globally — millions of Canadians, Americans, and Europeans travel for surgical care every year. We work only with providers we would recommend to our own family.

Will I be able to communicate in English?

Your physician speaks English at every appointment. A bilingual coordinator is present at every key consultation and procedure — so there is always someone in the room who can communicate clearly with you. While not every support staff member may speak English, you will never be left without an English speaker when it matters. All key documents are in English.

What does it cost?

It depends on the procedure. We provide a comprehensive quote covering all planned and foreseeable costs before you commit to anything — procedure, facility, coordination, accommodation, and logistics. We aim for full transparency on every expected expense. In general, procedures through GESTUR PrimeCare cost 40–70% less than equivalent private surgery in the United States. The Step 2 Specialist Assessment is $250 CAD ($180 USD) and is applied in full toward your care if you proceed.

Is this covered by provincial health insurance?

Provincial health insurance generally does not cover elective surgery outside Canada. Some provinces offer partial reimbursement in specific circumstances — check directly with your provincial authority. We recommend travel health insurance for all patients and provide guidance on coverage options during your care preparation phase.

What is GESTUR PrimeCare’s role exactly?

We are a coordination and information service, not a medical provider. We provide information, coordinate your specialist assessment, connect you with accredited facilities and physicians, manage logistics, and support you throughout. All medical procedures are performed by independent, licensed physicians. All medical decisions are yours, made with your doctors’ advice. We always encourage consulting your Canadian physician before proceeding.

Do you offer medical travel insurance?

We work with medical travel insurance providers and can recommend coverage options during your care preparation phase. We strongly recommend travel health insurance for all patients, covering unforeseen medical needs during travel. Ask us for guidance during your free guidance session.
