Company increases global footprint; continues hiring and expands headquarters
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Best Doctors, Inc., the global leader in clinical advocacy solutions for employers, announced today its seventh consecutive year of double-digit growth in 2010, with an increase of more than 20 percent over 2009. Even in a difficult economy, Best Doctors increased its global employee count by nearly a third, and now provides its medical expert services to more than 25 million people worldwide.
Best Doctors' growth is fueled by its commitment to excellence and innovation. The company’s services address a global need to transform health care by helping people navigate the complexities of the world’s health care systems, while ensuring that they have the right diagnosis and the right treatment. As health care systems strain from increasing costs and problems with quality, Best Doctors continues to emerge as a powerful solution.
In the United States, the company’s fastest-growing market, Best Doctors secured new Fortune 500 clients at a pace of one per month, representing a total of nearly three million new covered lives in 2010. Supplementing this impressive accomplishment was the addition of several major client wins in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
To meet the demands of its expanding customer base, Best Doctors increased its global headcount by almost 30 percent, and re-located its corporate office to a new, 54,000-square-foot facility in Boston’s financial district.
As the company’s profile has increased, so has recognition for its work as a thought leader and innovator. In June 2010, Best Doctors CEO David Seligman was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2010 in the healthcare category in New England; and in September 2010, President Evan Falchuk was recognized as a “Solutions Superstar” by Consumer Driven Health Care (CDHC) Solutions Magazine.
“I am excited by our impressive growth in 2010, and honored that our customers have placed such faith in us,” said Seligman. “Employers are looking for ways to respond to the cost and quality crisis in health care, and see Best Doctors as the solution. We will continue to partner with our clients to identify new and better ways to solve these health care challenges together.”
