12 March 2012
Toronto, ON – CMN is pleased to announce that in combination with GMMI, Europ Assistance Group’s other
cost containment firm based in Florida, they have surpassed $500 million in annual U.S. healthcare billed
charges for 2011.
“Managing more than half a billion dollars in annual billed charges is a significant achievement for the teams at
CMN and GMMI, and puts our combined Europ Assistance cost containment portfolio into a unique leadership
position in the industry based on size and service capabilities. With one of the largest portfolios of international
patients seeking treatment options in the U.S., we are able to negotiate deeper discounts and better pricing at
leading healthcare facilities, which in turn significantly reduces the healthcare costs of our clients. Our focus on
reducing net health costs while providing excellent patient support continues to win the support of our clients
and attract new business.” says Alex Kroon, President and CEO, CMN Global Inc. and President, GMMI.
“In 2011, our combined entities were able to achieve significantly more savings for our clients through our
various techniques. Higher penetration and increased savings through improved contracts were definitely key.”
