19. Myths & Realities The Trusted Bridge to World-Class Healthcare™

20. Spent 2 days in Mexico to “feel” the experience as a patient Gained deep understanding of the process Visited several hospitals as a patient Visited a cosmetic surgical center Saw it firsthand and had “bias” pre-visit My Experience as a Mythical Patient

21. Hospitals are state-of-the-art facilities –Many are newly built with an understanding of patient flow for expedited care Similar principles to just in time production –Visually attractive –High touch service for patients English speaking coordinators and forms are in English Physicians are often US or western trained –Updated on newest procedures and technologies –Typically are English speaking Nursing Staff are trained to handle US patients –Recent graduates with up to date training –English speaking Myth 1: Medical Care is Not Quality Focused Myth 1: Medical Care is Not Quality Focused

22. Myth 2: Only Cosmetic or Excluded Benefits This is shifting to mainstream care for other conditions such as –Cardiovascular –Pain –Hips and Knees –Optical surgeries Cosmetic surgeries will continue to grow due to the aging of the US population Dental care will expand

23. Myth 3: Patients Won’t Go Outside the US for Care Access to additional services will continue to be important Options or choices will remain important to patients Individual insurance premiums will continue to increase at high levels Growth of high deductible plans will continue to grow Growth of ethnic populations will continue and willingness to go their home country for care will continue

24. Myth 4: Medical Travel Won’t Be Sustainable Supply side growth will continue –Hospital beds designated to medical travel will continue to grow –Physician availability for multiple specialties will grow Demand side will grow significantly –Patient volume will grow Under or Un Insured Ethnic Population growth in the US –Employers will begin to adopt these programs as an additional choice for employees –Health plans will need to get active as this will serve as a growth engine for members

25. Myth 5: Malpractice and Liability Barriers Persist Demand side of health care will force innovative financing of health care malpractice for returning patients in the US Liability coverage will likely move to shared captives by hospitals and other systems or companies Intake processes to manage patients will need to be automated and to improve to manage expectations

26. Conclusions Growth industry Venture capital is now entering this market to drive adoption and sustainability Health plans will see the need to invest Employers who have specific needs will use these services Employees will demand services over time
