Bumrungrad International Hospital, Thailand's premier private medical centre, has formed an alliance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina to promote medical tourism to its 1.3 million members.
Through subsidiary Companion Global Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield will assist members interested in medical treatment abroad by providing information and access to Bumrungrad's website and a US-based contact centre managed by World Access, a leading travel-insurance and international healthcare-assistance company. The alliance is a first between a major US healthcare insurer and a Thai hospital and is expected to pave the way for more medical travel.
