"We are very pleased to offer WorldDoc to Worldwide Assistance customers, stated Sven Thorslund, Director of Sales and Business Development for Worldwide Assistance. We chose WorldDoc because with today’s emphasis on consumer directed healthcare, WorldDoc provides personal healthcare resources that allow insureds to make better informed healthcare decisions. Payer advantages include an enhanced customer experience along with marketing and actuarial benefits of the population health management solutions made possible by WorldDoc.

Worldwide Assistance beneficiaries under the Generali WorldChoice health plan in the Cayman Islands will begin accessing WorldDoc’s services starting June 1, 2005.

WorldDoc’s interactive health management system can help people decrease their healthcare costs, promote self-care and influence positive behavior changes. WorldDoc users consistently report that WorldDoc’s interactive and personalized tools, like its proprietary symptom evaluator called the Personal Evaluation System, help avoid at least one unnecessary doctor visit per year.
