Domestic Medical Tourism

Domestic medical tourism is the latest concept in the medical tourism industry. It is the practice of traveling from one city to another or one state to another within one's own country for medical care that is either not available in one's own neighborhood or is less expensively available in another neighborhood.

Domestic medical tourism goes by several other names, such as, medical tourism within US, local medical tourism, inbound medical tourism, out of state medical travel, in-country medical travel, etc.
