Navigating the Healthcare Landscape to Access Quality Care
When it comes to surgery and elective procedures, members can quickly become overwhelmed by the options and benefits available to them.
Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska has resources to help our members navigate and access high-quality, affordable care.
Member navigation
Available to all Premera members at no extra cost, Personal Health Support can:
- Coordinate care, including pre- and post-care plans
- Assist in appointment scheduling and preparation
- Remove barriers to post-treatment care
Member savings
Outpatient procedures that don’t require members to stay overnight in a hospital or facility can save members money without sacrificing quality. Outpatient settings like ambulatory surgical centers can:
- Perform a variety of surgeries and procedures like cataract removal, biopsies, total joint replacement, and more
- Offer faster recovery and less invasive surgical techniques
- Be 30-40% less expensive on average than inpatient procedures
