If you are American or Canadian you have probably never heard of Best Doctors!
Canadians have Provincial Healthcare provided by their respective Provinces. In the U.S. we are familiar with private insurance companies: Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Mutual of Omaha, Humana, etc. These are among the larger U.S. companies that are licensed in the U.S.
International Health Insurance outside of the U.S. is quite different and is most often provided by companies that are “offshore” corporations and headquartered in countries, other than Mexico.

How is this insurance different? To enroll is in this group, you must enroll and have your acceptance BEFORE you are 70 yrs, 8 mos. Once you are a paid member and your insurance is in effect you will not be singled out for cancellation because of your age or usage.
Additionally, our Best Doctors insurance coverage is worldwide, so while you are traveling you have the comfort of knowing that your insurance coverage extends around the world. This is especially important if you are American and do not have insurance coverage in the U.S. Seven Corners, an established Travel Insurance company, no longer offers travel insurance for expats traveling back to the U.S (effective as of August, 2018). So, this seemingly insignificant benefit is of HUGE importance if you are not covered by Medicare.
If you are in a part of the world where there a direct pay hospital is not available, Best Doctors will negotiate with the hospital on your behalf in an attempt to make a direct pay arrangement on your behalf.

The Best Doctors Mission …
The Reinvention of Right
Getting it right. Remember when that was what healthcare was all about?
But healthcare today isn’t always about right. It’s about the system. And that’s not right. Right needs to be reintroduced. Redefined. Reinvented.
Best Doctors is doing just that, with the help of the world’s leading medical experts. We are connecting people who have a personal health challenge with those who can best address it.
Our proprietary medical diagnosis service provides patients with access to the best medical minds in the world, no matter where they are. We are removing the burden of uncertainty from patients’ shoulders and creating a personal, compassionate and comprehensive way to ensure that people get the best possible medical advice.
In healthcare today, much of the emphasis is placed on getting answers quickly. We are singularly focused on getting it right – at a time when right has never been needed more. It’s what’s right for patients and doctors. It’s what’s right, period.
Best Doctors. The Reinvention of Right.
