U.S. prices for cataract surgery (simple lens) is under $2,000 without insurance. Bangkok hospital Chiang mai wants 100,000 baht per eye. I think its over priced and over the top. 200,000 baht /(35 baht/dollar) = $5,714 USD Shoulder surgery (arthroscopic) in Chiang mai Ram hospital is running at 330,000 baht. Admitted with plan A Medicare in the USA is free. otherwise, $7,000-9,000 USD. These hospital prices are the result of Medical tourist. Some of these doctors are way better than the US doctors and the hospital care is way better than the US hospitals. If you are over 70 y/o, too costly to get medical insurance in Chiang mai. All my medical surgeries (Orthopedics) were done at 2 hospitals in Chiang mai but recommend Chiang mai Ram hospital. Although I like this hospital, their prices have been continually going up like there is no tomorrow. Drug prices there is also high and going higher every year. Well, I am looking for cataract surgery in Chiang mai that I can afford. I just found out my Medicare plan A will not pay for cataract surgery in the USA.
