As surgical procedures become extremely costly (upwards of $100,000 per surgery) , which of the following health benefits strategies is being considered, if not implemented, by American companies? According to the Making Ethical Decisions box:
A) U.S. companies are asking employees to seek out foreign medical students who are trained in the U.S. and willing to perform surgeries at a discount price.
B) U.S. companies are asking employees to choose between taking a trip abroad or proceeding with expensive surgical procedures. The company is willing to pay for a trip, which may cost about $10,000, rather than a surgery, which may cost $100,000.
C) Patients who elect to have surgeries performed abroad are finding the quality of these surgeries to be sub-standard compared to the quality and care they receive in the U.S. The lesson is to think twice about a company whose benefits prescribe that you have your surgeries abroad.
D) U.S. companies are willing to pay for surgical procedures performed in nations such as Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand, as opposed to the same procedure in the U.S. The difference in cost is significant, and the expertise and accommodations are similar if not better.
