About Satori World Medical

With the rising cost of health care within the United States quite apparent, Satori® World Medical offers people an alternative approach to arranging medical treatment. The company, headquartered in San Diego, California, and led by President and CEO Steven Lash, relies on a global network of hospitals to help reduce the cost of health care for individuals, insurers, employers, and financial sponsors. Through its Quality Assurance Program™, Satori World Medical seeks out the finest facilities around the world to minimize the economic burden on patients. The network offers medical services in Thailand, India, Costa Rica, Mexico, Singapore, Canada, and several other countries. With its approach, the company continues to serve as a leader in the globalization of health care. As medical and technological improvements are made throughout the world, many countries can offer advanced medical care without an inflated price. Satori World Medical takes advantage of this reality through its Health & Shared Wealth Program™. The company boasts a savings of 40-80% on surgical procedures compared to traditional domestic options. The cost includes airfare, hospital and physician fees, hotel accommodations, foreign ground transportation, and a personal accident insurance policy for the patient and a companion. Employers can share these savings with their employee (the patient) through options such as depositing a portion of the savings into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) or providing meal per diems while the patient is traveling for surgery. Utilizing an HRA allows for reimbursement to an employee for qualified medical expenses and can be compatible with a qualified Health Savings Account or other model. In addition to cost savings, Satori World Medical strives to provide comprehensive customer service. Through the use of technology and highly trained staff, the firm offers patients an uncomplicated route for scheduling and receiving treatment. After a patient registers via its website or calls, a Nurse Patient Advocate from Satori will make contact to discuss the entire medical treatment process. Next, a Travel Care Coordinator will arrange all logistics of travel and the procedure. Once the date has arrived, patients will be greeted at the airport, escorted to the hotel, and checked in to the hospital the following day. Finally, once the procedure is completed and travel is authorized, patients will return home and consult with their local physician.

The Satori World Medical process: How does it work?

Satori World Medical is the world’s first global healthcare network and medical travel provider, aiming to give people access to quality healthcare at a fraction of a cost. Satori leads the medical tourism sector through its innovative business model and medical offerings that are either payor-supported or employer-sponsored.

Although the company operates in a global setting, Satori keeps its processes simple in order to keep it convenient not just for the clients but even for its internal team and affiliates. From the registration process per se, clients can already expect an online registration option that’s easy to navigate, fill up, and submit.

A patient who wants to undergo the Satori World Medical experience can do so in just five simple steps:

Step One: Registration. By visiting the company’s website, individuals, employers, and insurers can easily get started.

Step Two: Information transfer. The company has a team of Nurse Patient Advocates (NPA) that serves as the liaison between Satori and the patient. In this step, the NPA will contact the patient to verify all pertinent details. The transfer of medical records, confirmation of the medical procedure, and selection of destination for the treatment are accomplished at this point.

Step Three: Medical procedure and travel coordination. At this stage, Satori’s Travel Care Coordinators (TCC) will arrange for the travel needs of the patient, including the accommodation, schedule of the treatment, and concierge service. The TCC will also be responsible in coordinating with the U.S. physician in terms of follow-up care.

Step Four: Travel and procedure. Satori World Medical’s TCC will walk patients through the whole itinerary prior to leaving the U.S. to ensure that the travel and overall Satori experience will happen seamlessly. The concierge service arranged by Satori will take charge upon stepping foot on the destination up to the patient’s date of return to the U.S.

Step Five: Travel and follow-up care. Once the patient’s cleared to return to the U.S., the TCC will arrange the flight details so that the patient can safely and conveniently fly back home. Also, by this time, follow-up checkups are already set with the patient’s local physician.
