Cost management
Operating for 25 years within the US medical system, the world’s most challenging, guarantees OneWorld Assist has the depth of experience, networks and technology in place to ensure superior cost savings for your organization.
OneWorld Assist achieves discounts on 90 percent of all US medical treatment requiring hospitalization. Industry-leading savings are attained through our direct and preferred provider relationships with 3,500 US acute care, trauma, rehabilitation and extended care facilities and 400,000 US primary care physicians, specialists, clinics, laboratories and other ancillary providers. In the event a provider falls outside our network, our skilled cost containment division negotiates discounts directly.
BestCare Direct, our powerful Web-linked database, augments our preferred provider network. Claimants are referred to providers with lower net rates as well as low mortality and complication rates.

The above example lists two southern California hospitals in the same vicinity, which perform cardiac catheterization. Measuring only per cent discount, OneWorld Assist would send all of our claimants to Hospital A and incur significantly higher losses. BestCare Direct provides up to date data that provides decision support to direct our patients to Hospital B. Even with a smaller discount available to us, Hospital B has lower billed charges, lower savings fees and significantly lower overall net cost of care.
