Your procurement team just received a Healix quote. $75K for combined medical and security intelligence. But you already have medical evacuation through your insurer. You only need the threat intel.
Healix is a medical assistance company that also offers security intelligence as part of bundled contracts. Founded by doctors in 1992, their core business is medical evacuation, travel health, and employee wellness. For organizations that need both medical and security services from a single vendor, the bundled model works. But if you already have medical coverage and just need threat monitoring, you're paying for services you don't use.
The Fundamental Difference
Healix is a medical assistance company with security intelligence bolted on. Founded by doctors in 1992, their core business is medical evacuation, travel health, and employee wellness. Security intelligence is an add-on to their medical services portfolio.
Region Alert is a dedicated intelligence product. We monitor local-language signals across 100+ languages for emerging security threats. No medical services, no bundled pricing, just the threat intelligence your security team actually needs.

When Healix Is the Right Choice
- You need combined medical and security services from a single vendor
- Medical evacuation is your primary concern
- Your budget accommodates bundled medical + intel contracts
- You want travel health advisories alongside security alerts
When Region Alert Is the Right Choice
- You already have medical coverage and just need threat intelligence
- Your budget is under $15K/year for security monitoring
- You need deep local-language intelligence, not English-language summaries
- You want to start monitoring in days, not negotiate a bundled contract
The "Complement" Strategy
Some organizations keep Healix for medical evacuation and travel health while adding Region Alert for the real-time local-language intelligence layer, getting dedicated security monitoring without paying for duplicate medical coverage.
