QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality Standards Your Members and Actuaries Can Trust
Every hospital in the Acules network holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation - the gold standard for international healthcare quality. JCI accreditation applies the same clinical standards used by The Joint Commission in the United States.
Acules also collects and monitors patient outcome data, satisfaction scores, and complication rates for each partner facility - giving plan administrators the evidence base they need for fiduciary confidence.
JCI Accreditation Only
No hospital enters the network without current JCI accreditation status.
Outcomes Monitoring
Annual review of complication rates, readmission data, and patient satisfaction scores.
International Patient Departments
All partner hospitals have dedicated IPD teams fluent in English.
Malpractice Coverage
All partner hospitals carry international medical liability insurance.
INTEGRATION
Built to Fit Your Existing Infrastructure
Acules is a referral and coordination layer - not a replacement for your existing plan. Integration options include white-label member portal access, eligibility file feeds, and claims data reporting. Our implementation team manages the onboarding process.
No claims processing changes required. Members who choose international care receive direct billing between the hospital and the plan or employer. Acules provides cost summaries and procedure documentation to support your claims administration.
