Why Choose Us

Compliance with American Medical Association’s Principles of Medical Ethics

AMA’s (American Medical Association) Principles of Medical ethics is a system of moral principles that apply values to the practice of clinical medicine. These values include the respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice. At Credence, we have implemented these principles in our policy framework and standard operating procedures. We neither promote any hospital nor affiliate ourselves with any particular physician or surgeon. Our goal is to ensure that the patient is guarded by these fundamental principles of medical care.

Automated Process through the Online Platform

Credence’s exclusive online platform has been developed as an automated process to connect patients with doctors across the globe without any external influence or reference. Using the platform, patient is free to select a doctor of his choice. Details of accomplishments of the doctors and the accreditation of their medical facilities are available on the portal which help the patient select a physician. Using the online features the patients connects one to one with the doctors and gives access to their uploaded medical records to get the condition assessed and take an expert medical opinion.

Connecting Patients n Doctors through Telemedicine

Telemedicine also known as Telehealth refers to the concept of delivery of healthcare at a distance by connecting doctors to patients who are not physically present with each other. At times, it becomes difficult for a person to travel and see a Doctor. Such difficulties can be caused due to busy schedules, natural disasters or circumstances created by contagious diseases like COVID-19. Using the Credence’s digital platform, such patients can connect online with the specialist doctors available on the portal, seek medical advice regarding their health condition and transition to an appropriate level of care from the safety of their homes.

Connect one on one with the Doctor before Medical Travel

Credence is the first service provider to successfully use the tools of telehealth for promotion of medical tourism. Use of Telemedicine for Medical Tourism is a novel business model which has not been put to use till date and can be called as Virtual Medical Tourism. Using the Credence’s proprietary EMR capable online portal, the patients connects one on one with the Doctor to seek expert advice. Since the Physician has excess to all the patient’s medical records on the portal, informed decisions are taken on the future course of treatment and procedures if required. This process leaves no ambiguity in the minds of medical care givers and care seekers on what to expect during their medical travel.

Helping the Patient know the right Specialization

With so many medical specializations and many overlapping over each other it gets very confusing for the patient to choose the specialization for his medical condition. With a chronic protracted and complicated condition, getting clarity on the specialization is a daunting task in itself. In case of a dilemma, we help the patient select the specialization for his medical condition after going through the uploaded health records. Timely advice from the right specialization for a medical condition mitigates the damage and ensures a better prognosis.

Caring for parents and loved ones back home

United States is said to be the great melting pot of the world through the influx of immigrants. These immigrations have torn apart families and invariably parents are left behind in the home country, all alone and lonely. Access to regular health management of these elderly becomes an ordeal in itself and at times delayed medical care becomes fatal. To care for parents and loved ones back home, Credence has made Geriatric Care as a part of its focused area of work. Through affiliation with physicians and diagnostic centers, health parameters of such older adults are monitored regularly so that medical care requirements are met well in time.

If any amount is due at the end of promotional period, interest is charged from the original purchase date.

Exceptional Financial Transparency

Medical care business in the United States is subject to world’s most formidable ethical and legal accountability. The Anti-Kickback Statute states that anyone in the healthcare industry, who consciously and deliberately accepts a fee or remuneration of any kind or offers the same with the intention of manipulating the course of a medical decision-making, is liable to punishment. Stark Law prohibits physician self-referral or a referral by a physician of an entity providing designated health services if the physician has a financial relationship with that entity. Complying with these and other US Federal and Texas State laws, Credence does not engage in any kind of referral money.

Foreign Earned Income benefits for Non US service providers

As a general rule under US tax laws, wages earned by nonresident aliens for services performed outside of the United States for any employer are foreign source income and therefore are not subject to reporting and withholding of U.S. federal income tax. For non US service providers no part of income is withheld by Credence under US tax laws and such service providers receive their entire dues without any tax deductions in US dollars in their bank accounts across the globe. Since service providers shall be drawing invoices on Credence, no local sales and service taxes shall be applicable on transactions with non-Texas entities. Many countries provide incentives for income earned in US dollars under their Income Tax and import duty laws.

Free Hosting of Patient Medical Records on HIPAA Compliant Servers

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for sensitive patient data protection. Companies that deal with protected health information (PHI) must have physical, network, and process security measures in place and follow them to ensure HIPAA Compliance.
