On May 13-14, 2026, senior healthcare and insurance leaders will convene in South Florida at the Amrit Ocean Resort for the Global Medical Tourism & Insurance Summit—a closed-door gathering focused on partnerships, innovation, and the future of cross-border healthcare.
For U.S. employers navigating escalating healthcare costs and evolving workforce expectations, this summit represents more than an industry meeting. It is a strategic forum where Centers of Excellence expansion, insurer alignment, and global care partnerships are actively discussed and structured.

The Employer Cost Challenge
U.S. employers continue to face mounting pressure from specialty procedures, chronic conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, oncology care, and complex surgeries that drive a significant share of annual healthcare spend.
While domestic Centers of Excellence (COE) programs have delivered measurable improvements in quality and cost control, many employers are now exploring broader models that incorporate:
- Bundled pricing strategies
- Cross-border provider partnerships
- Internationally accredited specialty centers
- Integrated insurer-supported travel programs
- Expanded access to high-performing clinical networks
The conversation is shifting from “Should we?” to “How do we implement responsibly?”
That implementation dialogue is central to this year’s summit.
A Forum Designed for Decision-Makers
The Global Medical Tourism & Insurance Summit convenes:
- Hospital CEOs and international provider networks
- Insurance carriers and travel insurers
- Employer healthcare and benefits leaders
- Third-party administrators
- Medical travel and facilitation experts
Unlike large trade shows, the summit is intentionally limited in size to enable meaningful conversations and structured one-to-one meetings. With more than 1,000 pre-scheduled networking meetings, the environment is engineered for real partnership development.
For employer leaders, this means direct access to the stakeholders required to operationalize expanded COE programs and cross-border care models.
Centers of Excellence Without Borders
As healthcare becomes increasingly globalized, internationally accredited hospitals and specialized institutions are entering employer discussions with competitive bundled pricing, advanced clinical infrastructure, and strong quality outcomes.
However, expanding beyond domestic networks requires careful coordination:
- Clinical validation and accreditation review
- Insurer and TPA integration
- Risk mitigation and post-procedure continuity of care
- Compliance and employee education frameworks
- Transparent outcomes and reporting metrics
The summit provides a platform to evaluate these elements collaboratively, rather than in isolation.
Why May Matters
With 2026 benefits planning cycles underway and long-term cost containment strategies being refined, May presents a critical window for employers to assess new models before the next renewal cycle.
The Global Medical Tourism & Insurance Summit, held May 13–14, 2026, offers a focused opportunity to:
- Evaluate global COE partnerships
- Align with insurers exploring international networks
- Understand regulatory and compliance considerations
- Explore structured medical travel solutions
- Benchmark strategies with peer employers
A Strategic Setting for Strategic Conversations
Hosted at the oceanfront Amrit Ocean Resort in South Florida, the summit provides a private, executive-level environment for forward-looking dialogue. The curated format ensures participation from senior decision-makers rather than junior representatives.
For employers seeking sustainable cost control while maintaining high-quality outcomes, this summit is not simply an educational event—it is a working session for the future of employer-sponsored healthcare.
As benefit design evolves and global options expand, employers who proactively engage in these conversations will help define what modern Centers of Excellence look like in the years ahead.
