All-Inclusive Endometriosis Surgery Packages

Cross-border endometriosis care is offered as a single transparent fee that bundles the surgical and non-surgical logistics into one coordinated plan. This page explains what packages typically include, what is not included, and how pricing scales with case complexity.

Why bundle care into a package?

International patients coordinate travel, hospital, hotel, and clinical care across borders and languages. Bundling the essentials into one written quote removes the fear of surprise fees and helps patients compare programs on an apples-to-apples basis.

How pricing scales with complexity

A simple excision plan covers straightforward disease that can be managed by the primary excision surgeon. Complex plans add subspecialist participation (colorectal, urology), advanced imaging, robotic assistance, and longer hospital or hotel recovery. Ask for both the base package and the estimated complex add-ons in your written quote before travel.

Frequently asked questions

Why do patients travel to Tijuana for endometriosis care?
Specialized excision surgery with a multidisciplinary team is not available in every city. Tijuana offers proximity to the U.S. border, coordinated all-inclusive pathways, and English-speaking teams, which can shorten wait times and reduce logistical burden for international patients.
How close is Tijuana to San Diego?
Tijuana sits directly across the San Ysidro / Otay Mesa border from San Diego. Ground transportation from San Diego International Airport (SAN) to the hospital is typically 30–60 minutes depending on border wait times and time of day.
Is it safe to travel to Tijuana for surgery?
Care teams coordinate hotel, airport pickup, private transportation, and border support so patients move between vetted locations. Patients should still check current government travel advisories and follow team guidance on movement during recovery.
What documents do I need?
A valid passport is required for U.S. and Canadian patients returning across the border. Bring prior imaging on CD or DVD, operative reports, pathology reports, medication list, and insurance information for any out-of-country coverage claim.
How long should I plan to stay?
Typical stays for excision surgery range from 5–10 days depending on case complexity. Simple excision may allow discharge and travel home within a week; deep or multi-organ surgery may require longer hospital and hotel recovery before flying.
When can I fly home after surgery?
Most patients can fly 3–7 days after uncomplicated laparoscopic excision, once cleared by the surgical team. Longer surgeries, bowel resection, or complications may require additional recovery days before air travel is medically safe.
Does insurance cover surgery in Mexico?
Most U.S. commercial insurance does not cover elective out-of-country surgery. Some plans reimburse pathology, imaging, or partial fees. Canadian provincial coverage for out-of-country surgery is limited and requires pre-authorization. Verify coverage in writing before travel.
What is included in an all-inclusive package?
Typical inclusions are virtual consultation, pre-surgical labs, MRI when needed, surgeon and anesthesia fees, hospital and operating room fees, medications during admission, hotel accommodation, local transportation, and defined post-op follow-ups. Exact inclusions and exclusions are confirmed in writing before travel.
What is NOT included?
Air travel, passport or visa fees, personal expenses, extended hotel stays beyond the package window, unrelated medical care, and complications requiring care outside the defined scope are generally excluded. Ask for the exclusion list in writing before you commit.
Who provides follow-up after I return home?
The surgical team typically provides remote video follow-up for the first 6–12 weeks and coordinates with your local OB-GYN or primary care physician. Pathology and operative reports are shared with your home providers on request.
