Adding a Medical Travel Component to Your Employee benefit Plan
Any of you that have been paying attention to medical travel have noticed that it seems to be filling up fast, everyday my tracking software registers a new company or a new country throwing their hat into the ring. Well yes medical tourism is a growth industry but my question is do You know where the real growth is. Now the second question that comes to mind since my hat is also firmly in the ring is how much of it do I really want to tell you.
Well the answer lies in the realm of Journalistic integrity and a certain childish attention grabbing streak that runs along the lines of look how smart I am and really just not knowing when to keep my mouth shut. So here goes. Many of you in the industry with any integrity in regards to current issues affecting Medical Tourism know that the self insurance model in the United States is becoming something of a necessity given the rise in health care costs and more specifically private health insurance costs. What many of you may not know however is what percentage of the companies using the self insurance mode actually have a Medical travel Component and of a deeper issue set as to what hurdles roadblocks and problems are these forward thinking companies facing when attempting not only to implement medical travel in their programs but more importantly how do you get people to overcome their fears and trust their health care to a foreign doctor in a strange land.
Well it’s simple according to one of the industry leaders I interviewed recently but who will remain nameless for now. YOU PAY THEM It seems so simple. However the challenges of a medical travel option for corporations does not end there, liability is a major issue, finding the correct reliable providers and partners in a foreign country is an endeavor that requires serious minded due diligence. If you r administrator or facilitator has not visited the locale they are sending you to then you should not go.
