                              Speaker:  Brian Kroll, Companion Global Healthcare

                              Topic:       Medical Tourism

Medical Tourism is the phrase coined by the mass media of people living in one country going to another country for non emergency medical care such as heart procedures, knee and hip replacements and so forth.  People in the USA have been going overseas for a couple of decades already (the uninsured) due to cost reasons.  Now, companies are offering this as an option to employees.  What people don't realize are the overseas facilities are JCI accredited with many surgeons on staff that are us board certified or European board certified. 

The Growing Trend of Medical Tourism.  Find out the facts of what Medical Tourism really is.  How will the growing trend of Medical Tourism impact decisions that companies make when selecting healthcare plans?  How will substantially lower healthcare costs overseas at JCI accredited facilities impact how individuals utilize their health plans?  How can I incorporate Medical Tourism into my product offering to my clients?  Find out how benefit consultants are compensated when companies offer Medical Tourism as an employee benefit option.
