A full knee replacement, which is billed at a rate of $50,000 or more can usually qualify for an insurance discount reducing the cost to $25,000. This same procedure can be done through MediBid at a cost of $10,000 in a US facility, or as low as $7,500 overseas. By allowing doctors in the US to compete on an equal playing field with overseas providers, the patient wins. MediBid harnesses the power of Domestic Medical Tourism.
