Dear Colleagues,

As the boundaries of healthcare continue to expand beyond traditional networks, medical travel is gaining renewed attention among employers, brokers and benefits professionals. Rising costs, provider shortages and growing demand for accessible and high-quality care are prompting organizations to explore innovative solutions. In this evolving landscape, professional organizations play a critical role in connecting stakeholders, guiding policy and fostering transparency.

This issue brings you Alycia Riedl from the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP) to share insights into the organization’s evolving role in shaping healthcare access, affordability and quality. The interview discusses NABIP’s growing engagement in both domestic and international medical travel and new partnerships with providers abroad. We also touch on the various programs and events available to NABIP members to foster engagement and innovation across the benefits ecosystem.

Please stay safe and tell me how you are breaking ground in these growing industries.
