Independence, MO. For plan members traveling for medical care. Hotel selection is handled by your TPA's CarePassage tenant — walking distance to the facility, branded itinerary in the member's inbox, six touchpoints across the trip.
Ranked by walking-line distance. Distances are straight-line; actual walking time depends on the route.
Coordinator notes: hotel selection for member medical travel rewards walking distance over nightly rate. A hotel two miles farther from the facility costs more in member friction (rideshares, navigation, post-op fatigue) than the rate differential saves.
TPAs using CarePassage flag preferred hotels per facility once. After that, the preferred hotels surface first in every search and the coordinator-knowledge compounds with every booking.
If you're a TPA, PEO, COE program, or self-insured employer arranging travel to facilities like St. Mary's Medical Center (offered through MDsave), CarePassage handles the whole back office. Free for your organization.
