What is Better by MTA?

A global medical tourism platform that lets patients compare verified hospitals and certified facilitators, request quotes, pay securely and finance treatment abroad. It is powered by Healthcare Revolution LLC, built with the Medical Tourism Association, and uses Mastercard payment rails.

Is Better by MTA a hospital or a facilitator?

No. It is the platform that connects patients with hospitals and facilitators. Treatment is delivered by the listed hospitals and clinics.

Does it cost anything to contact a provider or request a quote?

No. Inquiries are free and no booking or payment is required to ask for a quote or a second opinion.

Which countries and treatments are covered?

The directory lists providers in dozens of countries, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Turkey, Thailand, India, Vietnam, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Italy and the United States, across 33 treatment categories such as dentistry, orthopedics, cardiology, oncology, IVF, stem cell therapy, plastic surgery, ophthalmology and weight loss.

Can I finance medical treatment abroad?

Residents of the United States and Canada can finance up to $25,000 over 3 to 24 months through third-party lenders, subject to credit approval. 0% APR is available for qualified patients on plans up to 12 months; otherwise 12.99% to 36% APR.

How are payments protected?

Payments run over Mastercard rails and can be made in 45+ currencies. The site describes payment protection that holds funds until care is delivered, and MTA provides dispute resolution.

How do hospitals and facilitators join?

Through annual membership. Providers apply through the MTA membership page; facilitators and employers or insurers use their own sign-up pages.

What is the Medical Tourism Association?

A non-profit founded in 2007 that promotes transparent, affordable, world-class healthcare and best practices in medical travel, and has helped launch medical tourism programs for governments and destinations.
