WHAT WE DO...
We offer a variety of services to our clients including
PROVIDER RESEARCH
We research and inspect each Approved provider clinic, hospital and translational research laboratory with which we coordinate care.
As a relatively new research discipline, translational research incorporates aspects of both basic science and clinical research, requiring skills and resources that are not readily available in a basic laboratory or clinical setting. We research the providers, their clinical outcomes, the laboratories where they work, their statistics on patient safety and satisfaction, cost effectiveness, and how their scientists and physicians team up to create resources, share expertise, and use new scientific techniques to create precise prevention, diagnosis, and treatments. The term translational refers to the "translation" of basic scientific findings of a tumor sample in a laboratory setting into precision treatment plans to treat cancer.
We work with T1 Research Centers which refers to "bench-to-bedside" centers in North America.
You may be surprised at the destination and treatment options you have through Medical Tourism Journeys. We partner with best of breed private, non-for-profit collaborative model clinics that are affiliated with internationally renowned universities and academic medical centers.
TRAVEL PLANNING
Whether you'd like to fly or drive to your treatment destination, Medical Tourism Journeys will plan all your medical travel.
Our travel coordinators will arrange every aspect of your medical travel journey to your medical tourism destination. We begin with a telephone interview to learn your preferences, medical travel requirements, budget, and other details. Specially-trained medical travel agents use this information to plan your driving route and hotel stops along the way or to book your travel itinerary with airlines using cash or mileage awards. We are not paid commissions on any travel arrangements by airlines or car rental or hotel suppliers.
We apply any available discounts and incentives we can find to save you money.
We can often save from 10-60% on airline tickets and access special discounted hotel rates exclusively available to our clients. We prefer to pass savings on to you rather than receive commission payments from medical travel suppliers. They are usually happy to pass on exclusive savings to our clients if they are not required to pay commission payments for referrals. This is one way we outperform most of our medical tourism competitors to the benefit of our clients.
OUTCOMES MONITORING
Clinical, cost, and patient satisfaction outcomes are three advanced metrics we review to select Approved providers.
When we select providers for our Approved provider network, we review their published clinical outcomes and comparative costs. We also conduct our own clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction by direct interview and tracking for each client we assist. This extended care continuity and measurement is another way we differentiate ourselves from medical tourism companies throughout the world. The tool we use was developed by the Rand Corporation, specifically for use by healthcare providers. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting through quick, focused interviews. This is the same tool that is widely utilized by managed care organizations and by Medicare for routine monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in adult patients.
Before you decide on a medical travel facilitator, ask if your medical tourism coordinator receives commissions or marketing fees.
As patient advocates, we provide out clients with valuable, unbiased, advice about healthcare providers, facilities, destinations, costs, all without conflicts of interest. The fees we charge include fair compensation for specialized medical travel case management. As a result, you'll often pay less by working with us and get far more service and convenience - which is critical when you have cancer and are focused on improving your chance of survival.
