Healera is a complimentary benefit provided by Alderwood Surgical Center, LLC dba The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery ("the Center") and is included in your surgical care at no additional charge. Coverage is limited to up to $15,000 for a covered revision, subject to program terms.
Healera is not insurance that you purchase, and it gives you no rights against any insurance company. It is the Center's own commitment to you, provided as part of the care you already chose.
Healera does not guarantee any cosmetic result. No surgery can be guaranteed. Healera covers defined post-surgical complications. It is not a promise of any particular aesthetic outcome.
What is covered. Medically necessary revision surgery for a covered post-surgical complication — including infection requiring surgery; hematoma or seroma requiring surgical drainage; capsular contracture (Baker Grade III–IV) requiring surgery where an implant is involved; confirmed implant rupture or deflation; and implant or tissue displacement requiring surgical correction — diagnosed by a Center provider within the assurance period (up to one year). — diagnosed by a Center provider within one year of the original surgery date.
What is not covered. Revisions sought solely because of aesthetic preference; complications arising from smoking or nicotine use, failure to follow post-operative instructions, missed follow-up visits, injury or accident, or significant weight or pregnancy changes; pre-existing conditions; and procedures not performed by a Center provider at a Center facility.
What you must do. Contact the Center promptly — within 30 days of noticing a possible complication — keep your scheduled follow-up visits, and follow your written post-operative instructions.
Amounts above $15,000 for a covered revision are addressed by your surgeon on a case-by-case basis. By participating, you authorize the Center to use and disclose the records reasonably necessary to administer Healera, consistent with our Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA). Full terms are provided at your consultation.
Participation in Healera does not waive, limit, or release any of your legal rights.
