About Best Doctors
Referred to by “60 Minutes” (CBS News) as “changing the face of American medicine," Best Doctors, Inc. (www.bestdoctors.com) is one of the world’s fastest-growing global health companies. Founded in 1989 by Harvard Medical School professors, Best Doctors focuses on people and their doctors, and seamlessly integrates its trusted services with employers’ other health-related benefits. The company serves nearly 30 million members worldwide. Best Doctors brings the judgment and expertise of the world’s best 5% of doctors - ranked by impartial, biennial peer-review - to its members, who don’t have to leave their homes. The company assembles and reviews members’ medical history and information in detail, and consults with renowned experts in the exact issues and conditions the member faces to find solutions. Public health research shows misdiagnosis reaching rates indicating a public health crisis, despite “latest and greatest” technologies and advances. In the many cases Best Doctors' expert physicians examine each year, 29% initially have an incorrect diagnosis, while nearly 60% have an incorrect treatment plan – resulting in needless suffering and wasted resources. Best Doctors identifies and fixes these problems, and dramatically improves health care quality and outcomes as a result. In the U.S., the company has pioneered a cutting-edge service, Clinical Advocacy, which mines companies’ health care programs to find and help employees who might be having problems with their health care – saving costs, and often lives, in the process by ensuring people get the right diagnosis and right treatment. Outside the U.S., Best Doctors designs and implements innovative health insurance offerings. These products, available in every major region of the world, further the Best Doctors mission of transforming health care forever, by focusing on the right diagnosis and treatment, and linking patient-centered medical expertise to comprehensive insurance coverage.
