Network Management
Our narrow network of Centers of Excellence is present in the US and scattered throughout the world.  Our credentialing process was designed by International Healthcare consultant and Harvard Medical School lecturer, Sharon Kleefield.  Key qualities of all our providers include:  international accreditation (domestically: JCAHO, internationally: mostly JCI), board certified physicians, latest medical technology (e.g. CyberKnife, DaVinci), English speaking staff and experience helping Western patients.

Patient-Centric Case Management
Our case management process is managed by WorldMed Assist’s own case managers, all of whom are registered nurses.  The ring below emphasizes the eight key steps that all our medical travelers go through to ensure a successful medical travel event.  On average, our case managers spend about 20 hours with each patient and the contact begins well before a patient boards a plane, and ends two years after the patient returns back home.
