We are the only group of its kind in the world dedicated to the managed health care
of seniors, retirees and pensioners from developed nations living abroad in more
than 150 nations: SENIORS ABROAD.
We were founded by healthcare luminaries who have provided hands-on clinical, planning,
development, financial and management services to the healthcare community over
many years.
Associates from around the world have assisted in the development of the first internationally
linked healthcare network able to handle all healthcare issues on a managed care
basis. Their objective was to assemble in their respective communities and nations
a high quality network of physicians, dentists, chiropractors, a broad gamut of
health professionals, hospitals, long term care facilities, assisted living centers,
and home health services to offer our patients.
Our patients' beloved pets are served through our network of veterinarians.
Modern sophisticated cost-effective housing abroad is under development.
Members of our international network of doctors and hospitals must pass a rigorous
credentialing process to assure the best and highest quality of care available.
They must all be certified.
Each and every member of our team - from the doctors to the support and clinical
staff - are dedicated to excellence and quality of care for each and every patient.
Care Everywhere. Our aim is to provide comprehensive services globally
and seamlessly to our seniors, individuals aged 65 and older, who live abroad part
of the time or continually. We seek contracts with public and private health plans
who serve this senior group and offer them our network of healthcare providers.
There are over 40 million U.S. Medicare beneficiaries and about another 40 to 50
million seniors of other developed nations. As the baby-boomers age, this number
will grow significantly. It is difficult to obtain precise figures as to the number
living abroad. There may be several million. The Associated Press on August 15,
2004 reported that there may be between 4 million and 10 million U.S. citizens who
reside abroad. They are often not required to register with their embassies and
each nation has its own requirements for the registration of foreign nationals.
There are many dual-nationals who have lived in the U.S. long enough to qualify
for Medicare and have returned to their home countries to live part or full-time.
The cost of living differential, coupled with social, familial and cultural factors,
is a motivator behind the out migration from the U.S. and other developed nations.
As globalization increases, it is expected that this trend will continue.
Saving Social Security and Saving Lives. There is a concern among
the developed nations over the rising costs of healthcare and the burden of taxes.
Government finances are strained by the responsibility of caring for a growing elderly
population. In Britain, government health budgets have suffered from years of under
funding causing long waiting lists. Privatized Medicare rendered through the PPO
model overseas to senior expatriates offers budgetary relief to cash strapped governments.
Governments can save billions of dollars while providing access to care to their
citizens abroad.
HIV/AIDS Pandemic. With over 40 million suffering from HIV/AIDS worldwide,
the U.S. is leading a global effort to combat this pandemic through its $15 billion
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. We are committed to utilizing our international
network of doctors and hospitals especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast
Asia and the Caribbean in this effort and others including the G-8 nations' Global
HIV Vaccine Enterprise and the United Nations AIDS project UNAIDS.
Commercial and Private Plans. Our network of providers is available
to the various health plans around the world that insure those who are below retirement
agent. They are typically offered to the employed by local and international concerns.
Some plans include those that offer health insurance to the higher income local
citizens. Other plans of interest insure both working and retired expatriates from
industrialized nations.
