Medical
Tourism Travel Professionals Program
Medical tourism is finally a reality for
Retail Travel Professionals in the USA.
Have you ever heard of medical
tourism?
Last year, more than one-million Americans traveled overseas for medical
treatment such as hip replacement, cosmetic surgery, dental
implants and even open heart surgery. According to Forbes
Magazine, this is a $5 billion industry, expected to grow to
$20 billion within the next 5 years. Medical Tourism
(Outsourcing Medical Procedures...)
is an industry in its infancy, and now just happens to
be the greatest new opportunity for travel professionals
since the development of the airplane.
Why
then has it been such a well-kept secret ???
Until recently, it's been a word of mouth
industry that started 10 -15 years ago
by providing half price cosmetic and dental
procedures in Costa Rica. Now, a patient can
travel outside of the country and save
60% or more from the cost of nearly ALL planned medical
or surgical procedures back home. Further to
their surprise, these patients travel
to hospitals that
are owned and/or operated by some of the
finest US based medical providers
(Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and The Mayo Clinic
are just a few of the dozens of qualified
providers in our Network of affiliates).
These are all JCI accredited facilities (the
same agency that provides accreditation for
US hospitals), and they are in place
specifically to deal with International
(Medical Tourism) Patients.
Additionally, eighteen major medical schools in the USA
are also affiliated with overseas facilities
so their students can learn technologies and procedures that are not yet
available or authorized in the US.
Adult Stem Cell technologies are a perfect
example of this sort of cutting edge
medicine...
For the more than one hundreds-thousand un-(or under) insured
Americans, traveling out of the country is certainly an
affordable solution...
and now often recommended by their home physicians when
outsourcing
is the only way that these patients can afford their needed procedure.
Global Surgery Network is the 1st and only "Wholesale
Tour Operator" that is developing a network of
licensed retail travel affiliates that will be trained and
qualified to work effectively, one-on-one. with all of these
medical tourism clients.
We are now offering selected retail travel professionals,
the opportunity to become our affiliates within their own exclusive marketing
areas. This nationwide network of professionals will become the
contact representative in coordinating the travel process and medical procedures
for each of our clients.
For two years we have tried to work with clients
directly (remotely), and
found that we
NEED hands-on representatives where
these patients live. Not only does that best serve the
patient, but when we
start to market our procedures and
network to self-Insured employers and the insurance
industry, we have found that they insist on having
local
representation in
place.
Thus, developing this product
distribution channel is imperative to our own growth as a
Wholesale
Medical Tourism Operator.
To support these affiliates with
business, we have 32 Medical Tourism
related Internet Sites that are ready to launch in
conjunction with this agency affiliation program. We expect these site
to drive
countless leads from prospective overseas patients, and they
will be forwarded directly to our affiliate in that area.

Outsourced medical procedures
represents a savings of 60%
or more from just the procedures costs here in the USA,
so there is a great deal of savings
to offset the costs of providing a
1st class traveling experience for
your client, in addition to everyone involved in the process
being compensated fairly for their
participation. When Medical Tourism
is done right, everyone wins...
especially the patient ! |

Lead Generation
With our 32 Internet sites that
relate to different key word areas
of Medical Tourism on the search
engines, as soon as all of
these sites are operational, we will
have multiple sites on the 1st page
of nearly every internet search
regarding a client going overseas
for any sort of medical or surgical
procedure. Thus, if a search
brings up 20 different Internet
sites on the front page, our target
is that 5 of those (each under a
different brand) will be ours.
ALL of these leads will be sent
directly to our licensed affiliate
in that clients market. Protected
territories will be established by
the clients home ZIP code, and the
demographics of Medical Tourism clients go
across the board... every affiliate
will have equal
opportunity to develop their
Medical Tourism business, and all of
your clients will be local...
which benefits both of us.
Marketing and Technology
We will
continue to provide co-op
advertising and cost-effective
marketing and technology tools to
help you secure new accounts and
keep them. A small but equal
percentage of both of our profits
will be used to advertise and
promote business in your specific
market...
In order to make this work, we need to develop
financially strong and committed
partnerships... not just a group of
licensees. We need affiliate partners
that are willing to commit to our
mutual success in the
Medical Tourism industry.

You will become known as THE
Overseas Medical & Surgical Provider
in your area.
Medical Tourism is a very unique
niche... surprisingly, you will have very little
competition, and no-one who can
deliver this product with the
expertise
that you will provide.
You will have your own Medical
Tourism Internet site that will link from our
site (for consumer use) as well as
links from your existing site. The
entity that you create for Medical
Tourism will be its own LLC, thus
you can completely separate any liabilities
involved in your providing this
Medical Tourism product.
As an
agency, you are currently
licensed and insured... and in
Medical Tourism, you are protected
under our insurance as our "affiliated
partner".
We are in the process at this time
of partnering with one of the
largest travel technology companies
in the industry so that we can best
coordinate our background processes and
procedures. Collecting and
protecting client documentation is a
critical component in the Medical
Tourism process. Specific
information has to be available at a
moments notice to qualified persons,
and remain under lock & key to
others. Our "back-end" technology
will assure that we are competent
and compliant in that process.
"
Pioneers jump on their horses and
risk it all to discover new
opportunities... Visionaries build
the railroads that serve them...
This is the 1st formal "distribution
channel" to serve the
Medical Tourism industry.
If you are a visionary, please join
us."
