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.

A city-state in Southeast Asia, Singapore is known for its Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences. Through the years, it has progressed and become “one of the world’s busiest ports.” Amidst being a small country, Singapore is considered one of the most populated countries in the world but its government tries to find a balance by maintaining its natural greeneries, which is composed of over 50 major parks and 4 nature reserves, hence its other name -- the Garden City.

Aside from being recognized for its natural beauty, Singapore is also known for its skyscrapers and prosperous business districts. Because of Singapore’s prevalence in the business world, Satori World Medical chose the city-state to be part of its network, considering the quality health institutions that reside there.

Under the Satori program, patients can acquire medical treatments from the following hospitals in Singapore:

• National University Hospital
• ParkwayHealth – Mount Elizabeth Hospital
• ParkwayHealth – Gleneagles Hospital

Things to do while in Singapore

Satori World Medical believes that although patients travel for medical reasons, they should also enjoy exploring the foreign country they are visiting. In Singapore, tourist destinations are everywhere and very accessible. Tourists can purchase a tourist pass, which can be used on buses or trains.

While in Singapore, patients and their companions can visit the Orchard Road, one of the most visited places in the country. It is a shopping district for both high and low brands, making it the perfect place for some retail therapy. There is also a hidden strip called Haji Lane which is said to be a fashion haven as well.

Patients can also visit Chinatown Heritage Centre and Little India for some history. Riverside, Singapore’s colonial core is also another place to visit especially for people who have a penchant for theater and other forms of arts.
