Every listing on the platform meets the MTA Promise: vetted credentials, payment protection, accreditation reference, and dispute resolution.

As featured in

The Medical Tourism Association and its leadership have been cited by leading global media for over fifteen years. The Better by MTA platform launch with Mastercard was covered by Mastercard, PYMNTS, and the financial press in 2024.

A two-sided marketplace

Hospitals and facilitators both list on Better

Patients choose how to book. Direct with hospitals for the most competitive prices, or through certified facilitators when they want hands-on support. Either way, every listing carries the same platform-wide protections.

Platform protection

What makes booking through Better safer than going alone

Booking direct with a hospital you found online means trusting that hospital alone. Booking through a facilitator means trusting that facilitator alone. Booking on Better means trusting the platform, the MTA standards body, and Mastercard's payment rails together.

The MTA Promise

Every booking on Better carries platform-level protection that no single facilitator or direct hospital relationship can match. The Promise is what makes the marketplace safer than any single option on it.

Vetted by MTA

Every provider screened against MTA membership and standards. No anonymous listings.

GHA accreditation reference

Hospitals carry recognized accreditation. Standards visible on each listing.

Mastercard payment protection

Funds held in escrow until care is delivered. Cross-border payments secured by Mastercard rails.

Dispute resolution

If something goes wrong, MTA steps in. Single point of recourse for any booking on the platform.

Sample comparison

Hip replacement: 4 options across 3 countries

Real bookings, real outcomes

Hip replacement: Thailand

I compared four hospitals on Better before booking with Bumrungrad. The MTA Promise was the reason I felt safe putting a deposit down for surgery abroad. Mastercard held the payment until I was discharged.

United States to Thailand

IVF: Spain

As a UK patient I worked through one of Better's certified facilitators. Knowing the facilitator was vetted by MTA, and the clinic was GHA accredited, took the guesswork out. The comparison view showed me exactly what I was paying for.

Emma H.

United Kingdom to Spain

Cardiac surgery: India

The dispute resolution path was never used but knowing it existed mattered. Better is the only place I'd book international surgery for my father. Booking direct with a hospital halfway around the world without the platform behind it was never going to work.

Why hospitals and facilitators list on Better

Listing on Better brought us patient volume we could not have built marketing on our own. The platform's certification standards mean we are not lumped in with anonymous booking sites. Patients arrive having compared us to direct hospitals on the same screen.

Facilitator partner, Latin America

MTA-certified facilitator on Better

We have direct international patient relationships and we also list on Better. The platform reaches patients we could not, and the Mastercard payment rail removed three weeks from our typical international payment cycle.
