Against waiting or paying in the US
The US has no national public waiting list; what matters is the price your insurer or the hospital charges.
Can your insurer pay?
Ask your insurer before you book. Plans rarely pay for planned treatment abroad unless they have agreed in writing first.

Heart check-up in Taiwan from the US: questions
How much is a heart check-up in Taiwan for Americans?
The published prices we found work out at $1,010–$1,720 at the clinic, from Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Adding a rough travel estimate of $1,210 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about $2,220. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in the US?
We have not verified a self-pay price in the US for this, so compare the trip total with a written quote from a provider at home.
How long is the wait for a heart check-up in the US?
There is no national public waiting list in the US; the question is usually the price your insurer pays.
How many days do I need in Taiwan?
Half a day to one day. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will my insurer pay for it?
Ask your insurer before booking. Most plans pay little or nothing for planned treatment abroad unless they agree in advance.
