IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEEK ANY
MEDICAL CARE “IN-NETWORK”
NOT OUT-OF- NETWORK
PEHT pays “Out-of-Network” claims at 125% of Medicare for medical treatment (not dental or VSP)
and there is no out of pocket dollar limit, unless the providers you go to are 50 miles or more
away from any In-Network providers. For reference, charges for care generally fall between 300%
and 800% of Medicare, so 125% of Medicare means that you would be responsible for a very large
doctor bill with no limit to how much you have to pay, and it doesn’t go toward your In-Network out of
pocket maximum.
Call PEHT at 907.274.7526 (or 1.888.685.6526 if you’re out of state) and ask them if the providers
you plan to go to are In-Network and, if not, ask them to give you names of providers in your area
who are In-Network. Don’t forget, this may be more than one provider.
You will need to know all providers that will be involved, including doctors, labs, anesthesiologists*,
etc.
*PEHT has included all Alaska anesthesiologists as In-Network, since you don’t’ always have a
choice
If you are willing to leave the State for surgery, either call BridgeHealth at 1.855.265.2874;
e-mail BridgeHealth at PEHT@BridgeHealth.com; or log into your PEHT portal and register for
BridgeHealth with Code TVIBF to find out if your surgery qualifies.
If BridgeHealth approves your surgery, they will find you In-Network providers in, say, Seattle, then
your plan will pay for coach airfare for you and anyone you want to travel with you (does not need to
be family), they will pay you up to IRS limits for your hotel room and incidentals and PEHT will not
charge you your deductible or coinsurance – approved medical care will be paid 100%. If you
want to stay in the area to do something fun, that’s fine, you will be responsible for hotel and
incidentals after you’ve been given approval to come back home, but you can fly back whenever you
want (it does not have to be the day your surgeon says you can leave). This process can take up to 6
– 8 weeks so it is strictly for scheduled surgeries, not emergencies.
