Views and Ideas - An interview.

Mr Jadeja: What is Blue Cross Blue Shield's strategy regarding Medical Travel ? What opportunities you would like to explore ?

Carlos: At Blue Cross Blue Shield we are looking at the opportunities for both inbound and outbound medical tourism. Also we are observing other providers and trying to figure out and understand how a business can be formulated and how better services can be delivered. At Blue Cross Blue Shield we are looking at what benefits do these providers see in terms of building a business around medical tourism or healthcare travel, considering the fact that we have initiated with the process and also are keenly interested to be a part of this growing market.

Mr. Jadeja: Being an insurance company how would you justify the necessity of medical tourism and how will you get involved in this market?

Carlos: I think, from a US insurer's perspective and from the employer's perspective, BCBS is definitely interested in reducing the healthcare cost so as to get better outcome overseas which is always affective. Also this is more of a matter of creating awareness and evolving services around it which makes it convenient and easier for the customers/patients at the end.

But given the current scenario there is another bigger market of people travelling for equal care without necessarily having insurance or being connected to an employer, this uninsured individual are self paid patients and forms a huge market which is growing in both directions in and out of United States.

Considering this cases that are relatively routine it is understood that they would go overseas, but there are also people from overseas who come to US for health care because they can't get new experimental or specialized treatment in their home countries. In either case thats an opportunity for Blue Cross Blue Shield.
