Medical and Travel Assistance

Providing exceptional emergency medical and travel assistance for your business travellers or policyholders.

Every country has its own way of doing things. At Healix, we have a vast amount of experience in coordinating the medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation of people taken ill or injured overseas.

When your travellers or policyholders face a health challenge away from home, it can be a scary and overwhelming experience. We provide direct access to comprehensive support and personalised care, from anywhere in the world.

Every individual’s medical needs are unique. Our team of experienced doctors, nurses, and assistance coordinators work together to make sure your people get the help they need. From remote case management and medical evacuations to second medical opinions and medication advice, we are here for them every step of the way.

With our “follow the sun” model, you can reach us 24/7/365. Backed by an extensive and credentialed international healthcare provider network, we leverage our skills, relationships, and initiative to deliver the most appropriate treatment quickly and cost-efficiently, all without compromising on quality.

Transparent and cost-effective care

Effective cost containment means costs are minimised without ever compromising on quality of care. We assess treatment in line with patients’ medical needs and insurance cover, avoiding any unnecessarily inflated expenses in the process.

With Healix, transparency is key. We provide a clear breakdown of costs so that you can see exactly what you have to pay and why. As a fully independent medical assistance company, we have the freedom to select the right resources without commercial pressure. This means we can use any suitable medical facility globally and pass on negotiated savings directly to you.
