Our Story

Over the last 60 years, Oasis of Hope has been a pioneer in the treatment of cancer and chronic illness with alternative medical treatments not found anywhere else in the world. The Oasis medical team and Director Dr. Francisco Contreras, MD, has always been focused on patient outcomes; those outcomes have driven word-of-mouth referrals from past patients who have experienced the powerful, loving care Oasis of Hope provides. We want to share with you a brief glimpse at the amazing journey Oasis of Hope has experienced working with late-stage, complex cancer, and chronic Lyme disease complex cases.

What Makes Oasis Medical Institute Unique?

At Oasis Medical Institute, our facility and staff are more than just a hospital or clinic, we are a family of survivors, providers, and advocates on a mission of healing and empowerment for patients and their families who have impacted by Lyme Disease, cancer, environmental disease, and other chronic illnesses. As Lyme Disease and tick-borne illness is a complicated multi-systemic disease, we know that receiving treatment can be scary, to say the least, which is why the Oasis Family is committed to supporting and empowering you through every step of this journey to healing starting today.

Through active collaboration with ILADS and other associations, regional self-help groups, and patient organizations, the Oasis Medical Institute educates patients, providers, and medical organizations on living with chronic disease and how to adapt to a wellness lifestyle to promote longevity and regain your health. At Oasis, our philosophy is simple: We believe in a clinic and a natural approach to wellness based on the belief that good health is about much more than the absence of illness. We combined alternative treatments and advanced research-based medicine to empower our patients with the necessary tools to achieve maximum wellness.

We actually encourage you to bring a companion to be by your side during your healing journey at the Oasis Medical Institute. Bringing a companion is essential as he or she plays a crucial role in your treatment; he or she will provide indispensable moral and emotional support. For this reason, you can bring one companion free of charge. Meals for your companion are included, and he or she will stay in your private hospital room.

The Oasis Medical Institute is located outside the United States and considered an “international provider” and unfortunately cannot accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. However, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company if you have a private insurance policy with out of network coverage.

Typically, a private PPO insurance policy is ideal to have a chance at securing insurance reimbursements, but the results vary from policy to policy, and nothing is guaranteed based on a multitude of variables such as insurance carrier, level of coverage, out of network deductible, and others. If you have a private PPO insurance policy, that features “elective international coverage,” you may have a better chance of securing reimbursement.

To determine if you have the adequate level of coverage and benefits to potentially secure insurance reimbursements for treatments received at an Oasis of Hope, we recommend you sign up for a free case evaluation with Medical Bill Gurus, where they will sit down to review your policy and go over the process. Feel free to give them a call at 1-800-674-7836 or email [email protected] to sign up for a free case evaluation.
