MEDICAL TOURISM CONFERENCE ATTRACTS THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATORS (TPA) AND US- INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYERS
Washington, DC. — October 18, 2007 — When the nation's employers and Third Party Administrators (TPAs) and employers — both US-based and multinational — gather at the Second Annual International Medical Tourism Conference (www.medicaltourismconference.com), December 3-5, 2007, Hyatt Regency Crystal City, they will capture innovative ideas and solutions around consumerism, healthcare and globalization that are now available in the marketplace. The medical tourism conference is part of Consumer Health World conference (www.consumerhealthworld.com)
"This international event is a key conference that will truly show TPAs the most innovative ways to reduce costs of healthcare administration and, more importantly, reduce the cost of healthcare for their clients," says Richard Lungen, president of The Lungen Group, LLC and Advisory Board Member to the International Medical Tourism Conference. "This conference is one of the only US-based events to focus on the globalization of care and utilization of accredited medical centers outside of U.S. borders. It will be of significant value to TPAs as well as their employer and association clients."
A 50 percent registration discount is available to TPAs that would like to attend any of the co-located Consumer Health World events, including the Consumer Directed Health Care Conference (www.cdhcc.com), National Wellness, Prevention & Fitness Conference (www.nhwpc.com), International Consumer Health On Demand Conference (www.ichdc.com), and International Medical Tourism Conference (www.medicaltourismconference.com).
TPAs interested in inviting select senior benefits or financial officers from some of their current clients or prospective clients who can benefit from the innovative program are eligible to receive complimentary passes to attend the conference as a guest.
"CHW will also focus on Convenient Care Clinics and the utilization of other programs that fall outside of traditional care approaches to patient care and treatment," adds Skip Brickley, CEO of Transmarx, LLC, producer of all conferences. "These are all tools that TPAs and self-insured advisors should be prepared to bring to their clients as alternative, cost-saving modes of healthcare delivery."
TPAs that plan to attend can take advantage of the 50 percent discount when they register at http://www.transmarx.com/corsdev/Accounts/Register.aspx with the discount code: XKDOEMBURD
