The Patient Experience of BLISCare Complication Protection
With any surgical procedure, there are known risks. When surgical complications arise during or after surgery, the patient is expected to pay again to resolve the issue. BLISCare Complication Protection enables a physician to provide a financial backstop for a patient in order to avoid these additional, complication-related medical expenses.
With almost any purchase, consumers expect their purchases to be risk protected by way of warranties, money-back guarantees, etc. Unfortunately, as consumers of healthcare services, patients do not get that same protection. This problem is intensified when a patient pays “out-of-pocket” for a procedure. BLISCare enables physicians to offer their patients the risk protection they expect, should a complication occur as a result of their surgery.
Only approved physicians qualify for the BLISCare Protection Plan. This plan provides protection for both physicians and patients should a complication from a planned event occur. The BLISCare Protection Plan steps in and pays the related medical bills associated with the complication that otherwise would be the patient’s responsibility.
