Miami, FL (1888PressRelease)
January 06, 2009 - National marketer of limited medical plans will make a medical tourism program available to all of its members.
Surgical Trip, LLC, of Boca Raton, Florida, has entered into an agreement with USNow, L.P., of Plano, Texas, to offer Surgical Trip’s medical tourism program to all USNow groups. This monumental event will be the first time a national marketer of limited medical plans will make a medical tourism program available to all of its members.
The Surgical Trip medical tourism program will provide USNow members with access to surgical procedures at significantly lower cost when performed at select, accredited hospitals overseas. “The high quality of care available overseas through medical tourism is amazing and the cost savings are equally so. We felt medical tourism would add meaningful value for all participants on USNow limited medical plans. We are extremely excited to have Surgical Trip as our partner,” said David Lindsey, President and CEO of USNow.
“This is an exciting moment in the employee benefits world, as we see a major marketer like USNow, enhancing value by offering our medical tourism program to all of its members,” said Tom O’Hara, President of Surgical Trip. The program will be offered to all new USNow groups and all existing USNow groups upon their renewal.
“Offering the Surgical Trip program along with our USNow limited medical plans, gives us a significant advantage over our competition. Employers who select USNow plans can now offer their employees an opportunity to save up to 90% on major surgeries. This isn’t available by anyone offering competing limited medical plans,” said Mr. Lindsey.
