The Problem We're Solving
The United States spends more on healthcare per capita than any country in the world — and gets worse outcomes than most developed nations. Over 100 million Americans carry medical debt. Two-thirds of personal bankruptcies are tied to medical bills. And every year, the gap between what surgery costs in America and what it costs everywhere else gets wider.
We started SurgeryCost because we believe price transparency is the first step toward better options. When you can see that the exact same knee implant from the exact same manufacturer costs $42,500 in the US and $11,000 in Colombia — at a JCI-accredited hospital — the conversation changes.
What We Do
SurgeryCost.co is an independent cost comparison resource. We research, verify, and publish real procedure pricing across categories including cosmetic surgery, dental, orthopedic, vision correction, bariatric, fertility, and regenerative medicine. Our data comes from published facility pricing, CMS data, FAIR Health datasets, and direct quotes from JCI-accredited hospitals.
We're part of the Colombia Medical network — a family of specialist sites covering specific procedures in Colombia, where the World Health Organization ranks the healthcare system #1 in the Western Hemisphere and #22 globally (2000 report).
Our Values
Data Over Marketing
We never fabricate statistics, testimonials, or pricing. Every number on this site is sourced and hedged appropriately.
Transparency First
Pricing is always presented as typical 2026 ranges. Individual quotes may vary. We tell you what we know and what we don't.
Patient Agency
We don't tell you what to do. We give you the data to make your own informed decision — whether that's staying home or going abroad.
Quality Standards
We only reference JCI-accredited facilities and board-certified surgeons. Credentials are verifiable, not claimed.
