In addition, optional dependents of active government employees will be eligible for the supplemental coverage as long as they are not subscribed to Medicare on grounds of disability or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

What is Care Plus ELA?

The plan insures the eligible person with the acceptable expense for deductibles and coinsurances, in accordance to the accepted charges by Medicare, for medical-surgical services and other health services received under Medicare. The Medicare program pays 80% of the reasonable charges after deducting the annual deductible. Your Care Plus ELA pays the remaining 20% of the reasonable charges accepted by Medicare.

The changes made as a result of Federal Legislation in the amounts of deductibles or coinsurance established by Medicare, will be covered by Triple-S Salud in accordance with the coverage dispositions.
