“And the 2016 Cost Containment/Claims Management Company of the Year award goes to… New Frontier Group”. Did I hear the announcement correctly? As a first time finalist for the award, we were in a competitive category with amazing companies. I stood before 800 conference attendees and was overwhelmed with joy and gratefulness. This prized moment will never be forgotten.

At best, the Zika Virus is a moving target that is commanding conversation as well as research in the world of infectious diseases and the travel industry alike. We, at New Frontier Group, along with the entire medical community of the world, take this disease very seriously.
