If you are facing a long wait for a hip replacement, you have another option. Here is what it costs, how the process works, and how we coordinate every step, from your first call to a safe return home.
A worn hip does not wait patiently. When a public wait list stretches from referral to surgery over many months, the pain, the lost mobility, and the time off your feet add up. Having your hip replacement at an accredited hospital abroad is a way to get a confirmed surgical date in weeks, not a place in a queue. It is about access and speed, with your own physician kept in the loop the whole way.
Every case is quoted individually, but as a planning range, many Canadians complete a hip replacement abroad, all-in for a patient and one companion including flights and accommodation, for roughly $15,000 to $20,000 CAD, depending on the country and hospital. You always pay the hospital directly, exactly what the hospital quotes, and we never mark up the medical care. Our own fee is a single, disclosed document and coordination fee. Mandatory medical travel insurance is arranged separately. You receive a clear written estimate for your specific case before you decide anything, with no hidden fees.
We work only with JCI-accredited hospitals, the same international quality and safety standard applied to leading hospitals worldwide, and we have vetted our partners in person. The destination hospital's specialists review your records and must clear you before surgery is booked. We are a non-clinical facilitator: we coordinate and advise, your own physician and the hospital's surgeons make the clinical decisions.
A hip replacement carries a higher clot risk, so the flight home is planned carefully. You stay long enough to recover, and the operating surgeon gives written clearance that you are fit to fly before you travel. We build your return around that clearance rather than the cheapest ticket, and use changeable fares so the date can move with your recovery.

It varies by country and hospital, but as a planning range, many Canadians complete a hip replacement abroad, all-in for a patient and one companion including flights and accommodation, for roughly $15,000 to $20,000 CAD. You pay the hospital directly with no markup from us, and you get a clear written estimate for your case before committing.
Once your case is accepted by the hospital, a confirmed date is usually available within weeks rather than the many months a public wait list can take. The exact timing depends on the hospital and your medical readiness.
