MediGuide International, a medical second opinion (MSO) organization with nearly 20 years of experience in domestic and international service, recently announced a partnership with MySpecialistMD (MSMD), a first-class provider of specialty and sub-specialty telemedicine care worldwide.

“Together, MediGuide and MSMD now provide their member base the opportunity to access real time medical support for acute and chronic conditions via a virtual MD visit, in addition to an in-depth and interdisciplinary MSO”, says MediGuide’s CEO Paul Vermeulen.

“Globally, patients can now access cutting edge medical information anytime, anywhere and with ease, changing the way the world gains access to healthcare information. Moreover, the highest level of clinical care will continue to be delivered, via a much more efficient, cost effective and personal vehicle”, per John S. Martin, Executive Director of MySpecialistMD.

What makes this partnership most exciting are the tremendous additional benefits MediGuide and MSMD can now offer their new and existing customer and membership base including:

FOR MEMBERS:

• Enables easy access to a network of board certified specialists at a minimal cost and in a timely fashion.

FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES:

• Reduce healthcare costs by avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions
• Reduce healthcare costs by ensuring members have the correct diagnosis and treatment plan
• Prevent unnecessary and expensive ER visits

MediGuide International currently services millions of member lives in 40+ countries across the globe with its MSO services. This allows members access to the best medical information available for their specific condition. The MediGuide experience is like no other MSO in its space, since its process allows for a holistic review of medical information by a team of physicians versus a single ‘expert’ physician review. In addition, MediGuide International has launched its LifeLink Insurance program, supported globally by SwissRe. Recently, MediGuide launched a new service for members seeking medical treatment abroad without insurance: Navigator. Insurance companies dealing with MediGuide will be able to either insure the new program or offer it on an access basis to its insured.
