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.

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. The Medical Tourism Association will pre-arrange meetings and connect international hospitals with executives from top US healthcare companies to assist in the development of new relationships and valuable new contracts. 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.

Medical Tourism is the Ultimate Consumer Driven Benefit Tool!
