Better by MTA has now enabled WeChat Pay and Alipay on the platform, making it easier for Chinese patients to pay using the methods they trust and use every day. Since most Chinese consumers rely primarily on these digital wallets rather than traditional credit cards, this update removes a key barrier to access, improves payment completion, and creates a more seamless, culturally aligned patient experience for our members serving the Chinese market.

BetterAI™ is Better by MTA’s proprietary, closed-ecosystem AI built on 18+ years of platform data, transforming how patients are engaged, qualified, and matched with providers. It delivers smarter patient coordination, real-time provider analytics, and personalized AI assistance—creating higher-quality leads, better insights, and better outcomes for everyone on the platform.

Better by the Medical Tourism Association (MTA) continues to show how healthcare payments can be handled quickly and effortlessly at the provider level. In a recent real-world example, a single healthcare provider processed more than $100,000 USD in patient payments in just one day using the Better platform—across three patient transactions.

In a recent case, a U.S.-based patient traveling to Latin America for a medical procedure secured $11,000 in medical financing through Better by MTA. The approval process took approximately 10 to 12 seconds, required no paperwork, and was completed within minutes, eliminating financial uncertainty and allowing the patient to move forward quickly.
