Intrepid 24/7's innovative web- and mobile-enabled services are yet another way for travellers around the world to access the health and safety resources they need.
A team of experts
Amassing over 150 years of combined managed care experience, Intrepid 24/7's team includes Medical Director Richard Heinzl (founder of the Canadian branch of Doctors Without Borders), Director of Security and Intelligence Alan Bell (member of the British Special Forces for 22 years), VP of Business Development Marc Giguère, Head of Operations and Managed Care Raffy Karagossian, and Head of Claims Operations Laurie Gilkes. Intrepid 24/7's experts are well equipped to handle medical emergencies and security incidents—no matter how severe or unique.
"Intrepid 24/7's primary objective is to provide the highest level of support to travellers around the globe through clear, relevant, and timely information and via access to our global medical and security networks," says Robin Ingle. "Our exclusive network of doctors ensures enhanced health care solutions, and our security experts provide the protection that travellers need."
Lower costs, better service
Intrepid 24/7's experienced Claims Department boasts a holistic approach to case management. With retrospective reviews of cases, regular audits, and in-house claims dispute resolution, client costs are mitigated and the highest quality of member service is ensured.
