AdvanceCare extends its presence on the Iberian Market

9/24/2009

A new alternative and approach to the access of Insured Parties/Beneficiaries to a Medical Network in Spain.

AdvanceCare has extended its presence on the Spanish market, previously assured solely by the SANITAS option, establishing a partnership with HNA, Serviços Cooperativos S.A. http://www.hna.es/web/hna.html

The protocol signed recently aims to:

• Provide a wide Network with over 20,000 providers throughout Spain with a presence ensured in the border area;
• Enable access to a range of health services which are geographically all-encompassing and international reference.

The main criteria for network selection and valuation were as follows:

• The inclusion of the main reference providers such as:
  • Navarra University Hospital;
  • Quiron Madrid;
  • Teknon Medical Centre – Barcelona;
• Combination between the financial conditions of the Clinical Acts and the services provided with an average discount level greater than that obtained in Portugal.

By extending its network of agreed providers, AdvanceCare intends to sets itself apart from the other players.
