US Inbound & Domestic Medical Tourism
US Hospitals now more than ever need to market themselves, increase their global brand, create new relationships with overseas hospitals and doctors for cross-referral of patients, and develop new relationships with insurance companies, governments and facilitators. The US Inbound and Domestic track of our 5th World Medical Tourism Congress will focus on inbound medical tourism and it will address the challenges and future trends of the industry.
Current and Future Challenges for US Hospitals & Inbound Patients
- Previous foreign cash paying patients now accessing US Insurer PPO discounts
- Shrinking pool of patients as more US hospitals compete
- International hospitals being built, keeping patients in their home country
- Big US insurers acquiring international insurers and now accessing their US networks
- Large US insurers renting out their US PPO networks to governments and others around the world.
How can the Medical Tourism Association help US Hospitals?
- Providing education about the international marketplace and growing sources of competition
- Introducing new connections to hospitals, doctors, governments, facilitators and other key industry players in foreign countries
- Creating connections for academic affiliations and exchanges
- Providing training and assistance in developing International Patient Centers
- Facilitating certification for international patient services
- Increasing patient referrals and leads
Ministerial Summit
Each year during the Congress, we host an invitation-only Ministerial Summit in order to provide a platform for Ministers of Health, Health Authorities and Governments to collaborate and network regarding rising healthcare and insurance costs and issues facing nations around the world.
