Important Note
Effective January 1, 2022, we are pleased to announce that we will also be the preferred provider of knee/hip replacement and spinal fusion surgeries for U.S. 3M medical plan participants. Other surgeries and procedures will continue to be covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN, Health Partners, or by Carrum Health, as applicable. This change will ensure that 3M plan participants receive high-quality care and access to the top physicians and surgeons in the country. Plus, 3M covers 100% of the surgery costs (if you’re on a high deductible plan, you will need to meet the deductible).

What our patients say
The experience was fabulous. My whole quality of life has changed for the better, thanks to Carrum. Everyone was professional, helpful, and very very careful. It’s the best decision I have ever made, and I’m proud to say that. Thank you for saving my life.
Fidelia
I had surgery for my left hip about two years ago through normal insurance. Recently, I needed surgery on the other hip. This time, I used Carrum Health, and the difference was night and day. I hope I never need another surgery, but if I do, I’m certainly going to use Carrum Health again.
Joe
Going through surgery with Carrum Health was so easy. They took away all of the stress I’m used to feeling so I could just breathe and focus on getting better. And when I go to the mailbox, I don’t have to worry about getting a single bill.

Who is eligible?
Carrum Health is a special surgery benefit for active employees, early retirees (pre-Medicare), COBRA participants, and dependents who are enrolled in eligible PRISM Anthem or Blue Shield medical plans (where PRISM is the program administrator that your employer contracts with for healthcare benefits).
*With the exception of second opinions, due to IRS rules, members on a high-deductible plan must pay their deductible, but coinsurance and copays are waived. The second-opinion service is free, and most will be done virtually. Per IRS rules, a portion of any covered travel expenses will be reported as taxable income. County of San Luis Obispo only: For knee and hip replacements, spinal fusion, and bariatric weight-loss procedures, you need to receive an expert second opinion through Carrum Health prior to scheduling your procedure. If surgery is the right treatment path, you may continue through Carrum or get your procedure done through another provider.
