Built by someone who actually lives there

GetSurgeryQuotes.com exists because surgery pricing in the US is a fog bank. Hospitals bill uninsured patients inflated chargemaster rates by default, real cash prices take work to find, and "medical tourism" sites are usually run by marketers who have never set foot in the clinics they promote.

This site does two things differently. First, the US numbers are anchored to genuinely published cash prices — transparent-price surgery centers, documented self-pay averages — not made-up "US average" figures. Second, the Colombia side isn't secondhand: this network is operated from Medellín, Colombia, where clinics get visited in person and surgeon credentials get checked against ReTHUS, the national public registry.

Colombia earns its place in the comparison. The WHO's 2000 world health report ranked its health system #1 in the Western Hemisphere and #22 globally, and several Colombian hospitals hold hospital-level JCI accreditation. Typical 2026 surgical pricing runs well below US cash-pay rates — and every figure on this site is presented as a range, not a quote, because real pricing only comes from a treating clinic after evaluation.

GetSurgeryQuotes.com is part of the ColombiaMedical.co network, operated by Scout Theory LLC. When you request quotes, a real person — in Colombia, in your time zone — handles it.
