Companion Global Healthcare Inc announced that it has empanelled Wockhardt Hospitals in India to its network of accredited overseas hospitals for elective care.

All BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and BlueChoice® HealthPlan of South Carolina members have access to Companion Global Healthcare’s services.

“A self-insured company can save tens of thousands of dollars if just one of its employees elects to have surgery at a fully credentialed Companion Global Healthcare facility, and the employee can save thousands in out-of-pocket costs,” Boucher said. “The addition of Wockhardt hospitals to our network gives our clients more outstanding options if they are considering going abroad for care.”
