Healthcare Concierge Services Announces International Expansion of StandbyMD(SM) Medical Care Program

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - July 20, 2009) - Healthcare Concierge Services, a leading provider of personalized health care services, announced today the latest international expansion of its innovative StandbyMD program with the opening of operations in Cancun, Mexico. The StandbyMD program offers business and leisure travelers access to personalized Physician Directed Healthcare services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

"We are very excited to begin offering our StandbyMD program in Cancun, one of the many international markets we plan to begin serving this year," said Alex Sanchez, Managing Director of Healthcare Concierge Services. "The need for personalized medical services for travelers has been growing rapidly, especially in foreign tourist locations that attract large numbers of visitors. StandbyMD was created as a way to provide individuals who are travelling on business or for pleasure with access to reliable physicians and healthcare services in times of unanticipated medical needs, especially important when traveling abroad."

Under the StandbyMD program, individuals who are travelling receive Physician Directed Healthcare services from a qualified physician who facilitates services around the clock, 7 days a week. Individuals are provided easy access to a qualified StandbyMD physician, who will assess the medical condition and provide treatment options. The range of services include: prescription drug refills; referrals to medical specialists, chiropractors, dentist, walk-in clinics/urgent care centers; house call visits; and fast access to emergency rooms.

"We are experiencing strong interest among insurance companies, travel agents, tour operators, associations, and affinity groups where StandbyMD is available. We are very optimistic that the program will be well received by travelers planning a visit to Cancun and the other markets we plan to enter later this year," said Mr. Sanchez. "Our clients are finding that the level of concierge style medical service provided by the StandbyMD program eliminates difficulties that travelers who need medical attention often experience such as obtaining appointments, inconsistent provider hours of operation, long wait times, unnecessary testing and excessive charges."

The StandbyMD program is currently available in more than two dozen key cities with continued network expansion in the United States and international destinations.
