MEDEX ASSISTANCE
for quality, consistency and speed
Responsiveness
The MEDEX Emergency Response Team is committed to providing fast and effective help when you need it most. Our dedication to responsiveness is evident in our average response time of only 7 seconds. All calls are answered by a live, professional representative 24/7/365. The immediate needs of the caller are assessed at the initial point of contact and the MEDEX Emergency Response Team is set in motion.
Quality Case Management
All assistance operations are coordinated through the centralized MEDEX Emergency Response Center located within the U.S. headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland. In this manner, MEDEX provides excellent quality case management with complete support and supervision from management. All coordination between the member, employer, family, primary insurance, member’s personal physician and all other involved parties is controlled at this central location. In addition, MEDEX never out-sources case management, so there are no franchise/affiliate assistance locations or subcontractors to worry about. When your travelers call for help, you can rest assured that a MEDEX professional, who is familiar your specific needs, will answer their call. Furthermore, when MEDEX clients need an update on a case, program review report or just advice – the information is both complete and readily accessible.
Assistance operations are structured around a hierarchy of experience levels: Assistance Coordinators, Case Managers, Shift Managers, Nurse Case Managers and our Medical and Security Directors.
