Medical Tourism, also known as Global Health, is a fast growing industry that is changing healthcare worldwide. As, the healthcare crisis worsens in the United States, more and more US healthcare companies, employers, administrators and health insurance agents are realizing the financial savings involved in sending patients to overseas hospitals. In 2006 over 500,000 Americans went overseas for surgery. In 2008, it is estimated to be in the millions.
The 2008 World Medical Tourism and Global Health Congress was held on September 9-12th in San Francisco California. It was a tremendous success with over 850 attendees from over 45 countries and more than 53 exhibitors and sponsors!
The conference featured advanced workshops in the areas of marketing, Building International patient departments, legal issues, quality of care, medical tourism facilitator hot topics, and more! Some of the panel session highlights were the Employer panel session where participants from Black & Decker, Procter & Gamble and Hannaford Brothers discussed their feelings on medical tourism. Another exciting panel session was the Insurance company panel session consisting of participants from Swiss Re, United Healthcare, CIGNA, and Assurant Health discussing both the negatives and positives of medical tourism and the insurance company view of medical tourism. A significant number of media and press came to the event with outlets such as MSNBC, Human Resources Executive Magazine, Business Insurance, and San Francisco Chronicle just to name a few.
The 2nd World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress which takes place October 26th – 28th in Los Angeles California will feature one of the largest exhibition halls in the world. Top International Hospitals, Clinics, Medical Tourism Facilitators, Insurance Companies and Insurance Providers will be exhibiting and showcasing their services and quality to up to 2,000 attendees. At the 1st year’s annual Congress almost 50% of the attendees were buyers of healthcare, including insurance companies, employers, insurance providers and medical tourism facilitators.
This event has one sole purpose, to put Insurance Companies, Self Funded Employers, Health Insurance Agents and Healthcare Companies in one place together with International Hospitals, Medical Tourism Companies and Medical Tourism Experts for the ultimate educational learning and networking event. This event is meant for US Employers and companies to create new relationships and new contracts in the area of Medical Tourism, as well as to learn how to properly implement Medical Tourism into a US health plan with success. We will also help International Hospitals in attracting patients from the Middle East and Asia.
This is the one event per year where US health Insurers, TPA’s, Self Funded Employers and Health Insurance Agents have the opportunity to meet the top executives from the leading international hospitals. It’s time for the US Marketplace to seriously step outside the box and look at Medical Tourism as a real solution to the rising costs of healthcare.
With all the buzz about our 2nd Annual congress we are proud to announce the launching of our World Medical Tourism and Global Health Congress Blog.
