Overall, MedPass is a lifeline for people in foreign countries, as well as in unfamiliar U.S. cities, that experience minor to major health and welfare problems. For the average business traveler and expatriate, their exposure to potential harm by illness or injury is far greater than their exposure to a general calamity, or personal, civil or criminal injustice. MedPass , often in concert with other professional firms, addresses those contingency risks through plans, protocols and situation awareness. Getting sick or injured abroad does not have to be life threatening to cause considerable inconvenience to the person and their employer.
Time is money.
The cost of treatment should include the lost productivity while the person was traveling. People that do not feel well while away from home usually reduce their schedules. A minor to moderate medical situation that escalates untended into the need for an emergent air medical evacuation does not serve the person or the company. MedPass provides prompt, medically directed help, before the trip or move and during the trip or foreign residency. There are locations around the world where the local medical community is not equipped to manage urgent and emergent illnesses an injuries.
