(Medical Tourism Magazine) – Payan has so much confidence in the Texas Medical Center that he accrued about $300,000 in expenses – including $8,000 a month for a furnished, two-bedroom apartment for himself and his wife – to receive the best care that Houston has to offer. About 20,000 medical tourism patients like Payan travel to Houston each year from international destinations for medical care. Cross-border healthcare pumps $38.5 billion to $55 billion annually into local economies.
