"Partnering with Wells Fargo’s forward thinking Employee Benefits team has been a pleasure. They take a strategic approach to helping clients consider new programs such as Medical Travel. And when a client implements the program, they provide the right level of support to make sure the plan design is effective, and the implementation is smooth."
According to Dick Keenley, a Wells Fargo Vice President for Employee Benefits, "We are always looking for innovative ways to help our self-funded clients manage their cost while improving their employee benefits offering. When we decided to offer Medical Travel to our self-funded employers, we wanted a partner with a proven track record of excellence in case management, had self-funded industry experience, and were flexible enough to meet the demands of our clients. We are very satisfied with the WorldMed Assist partnership."
