The ASEA Health Trust has partnered with Transcarent Surgery Care (formerly called BridgeHealth) to provide you with another option, in addition to the Plan’s PPOs in Alaska, for elective and non-urgent surgeries such as total hip or knee replacement, coronary artery bypass graft or spinal fusion. Through Transcarent Surgery Care, you can have your surgery performed by a top rated surgeon who is considered an expert for that procedure at a surgical facility that has a proven track record for healthy outcomes – at NO COST to you! The Health Trust is able to offer this benefit because the cost for these procedures can be much lower outside of the state of Alaska.
If you choose Transcarent Surgery Care, the Health Trust pays:
- ALL surgical costs during the episode of care; and there is no deductible or coinsurance,
- There may be other costs incurred which may be covered by your medical benefits but may be subject to your deductible or coinsurance such as medical clearance exam, durable medical equipment, additional imaging, follow up care with your local provider, and on-going physical therapy.
- Your travel expenses, including first-class airfare, lodging and food, up to benefit limitations,
- Travel expenses for a companion (whom you choose) to go with you as your caregiver.
NOTE: Plan limitations and exclusions will apply with respect to surgical procedures covered by the Plan. If the ASEA Health Trust Plan is your secondary health plan, Transcarent Surgery Care may not be available to you. Contact ASEA Health Trust Administrator for more information.
