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.
BestCare Direct
In cases where BestCare Direct
has been utilized, OneWorld Assist has lowered claims costs

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.
