Case Example 2: The Details

The Situation: A New Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

A 52-year-old, generally healthy Israeli has a PSA of 8 ng/ml. His biopsy shows prostate cancer (Gleason 4 + 3 = 7 in 3 of 6 cores on the right with no tumor on the left).

His international health insurer is set to pay an estimated $30,000 for a global package that includes an open radical prostatectomy at an American hospital center located in a freezing cold location -– in January!

The patient is smart, resourceful, and scared. Because of young children at home, his wife is under duress and minimally able to help.

The Solution: Concierge Service at a Center of Excellence

All pre-op communication, knowledge, services, and support in the patient’s native language
Operating facilities and overnight stay at a hospital in southern Florida -– still in January!
A respected urological oncologist highly experienced in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
A surgical assistant, an anesthesiologist, and a pathologist

Discounted rates at a nearby, four-star, Florida resort hotel
All home follow-up care with an Israeli urologist directly associated with the operating surgeon
