PRESENTATION ABSTRACT:

PATIENT ADVOCACY GOES GLOBAL: The Importance of InBound, OutBound and Domestic Medical Tourism to Growing Your Patient Advocacy Business

For many in healthcare today, outbound medical tourism is shaping up to be the answer to high medical costs, ObamaCare opt outs, baby boomer vanities and increasingly desirable access to alternative treatments and therapies not available in the USA.

Inbound medical tourism to the USA continues to be sought after by wealthy foreigners looking to spend their healthcare dollars with first world specialists and facilities, many of which are already long-recognized hubs such as Cleveland Clinic and St Jude’s.

Domestic medical tourism is also on the rise as more patients choose to travel a few hours from home to find “Centers of Excellence” where out of pocket costs are lower or their insurance company or employer has contracted with for lower pricing.

All of these options represent VAST untapped markets for Patient Advocates. Each category of patient needs specialized services and support from trustworthy professionals that have their best interests at heart.

The IMTCC is committed to instilling Patient Advocacy in medical tourism and providing advocacy to traveling patients (medical tourists) that otherwise are on their own.

The objectives of this presentation will be to:

ü Describe these 3 markets and their current and future trends

ü Define the opportunities for patient advocates in each market

ü Describe the vision of Global Patient Advocacy and specialized services as the future of healthcare
