LIVING ORGAN DONORS RECEIVE FREE TELEMEDICINE BENEFITS TO GIVE LIVING DONORS ADDITIONAL MEDICAL PROTECTION
Healthtera, a supplemental health benefits company, that offers 24/7 telemedicine solutions powered by HealthiestYou (HY), announced the roll-out of its Living Donor Family Sharing Program to support the courageous individuals who have gave a piece of themselves to save someone’s life. This first-ever program is a nationwide effort to expand post-donation benefits to living organ donors, which allows live-donor transplant recipients (enrolled in Healthtera’s family telemedicine plan) to cover their living organ donor under Healthera’s “Family-Sharing Plan” at no additional charge.
Here’s how it works:
• Healthtera’s telemedicine subscribers can include their living kidney donor in their telemedicine benefits under their “Shared Family Plan” – at no extra charge.
• Benefits include unlimited 24/7 “on-demand” access to U.S. Board-certified physicians (via telephone, online or mobile app) for medical consultation and medically necessary pharmacy prescriptions.
• The monthly subscription fee for a transplant recipient is $18/month, which covers up to 10 family members total.
• This plan includes unlimited sessions with physicians and there are no deductibles or copay’s.
Of course you don’t have to be a transplant recipient to subscribe to telemedicine. Most people enroll for access to physicians after-hours or when traveling, during holidays and over weekends. This program can eliminate the need to wait days for an appointment for a basic need. It can eliminate the need to go to urgent care for most basic needs.
The TransplantFirst Academy (TFA) with Healthera’s principals, shared our founder’s story and vision to expand coverage to transplant recipient subscribers who would like to include their living organ donor in their family plan. This ground-breaking concept was approved and now recognizes living organ donors as life-saving health-heroes who deservedly qualify for coverage under their transplant recipient’s “Shared Family Plan.”
TFA feels it was a privilege to have played a small role in influencing this unprecedented expansion of benefits for non-related living donors.
They invite you to spread the word about this unique “extra layer of protection” that now allows organ transplant recipients to consider having for themselves, their families and their selfless health-heroes, their living kidney donors.
