Q: Are your Cards an insurance program?
A: NO. We do not sell or offer insurance of any kind.
Our plans were developed to provide significant dental, health
and medical service savings benefits to its members. These savings would not be possible
if our plan was structured as an insurance product.
Q: How much can I expect to receive in savings benefits?
A: There are many factors involved in determining the
percentage of saving benefits you will receive. These factors generally include which
provider you select, whether a provider is a medical specialist, the nature of services or
type of prescription drugs received by you, your geographic location and the type of
facility where you received services.
Q: How much are co-payments?
A: Because the our plans were created NOT to be an insurance program, there are absolutely no co-payments. You will
receive the savings benefits from your medical provider at the same time service is
provided to you!

Q: I have called a few
doctors you have listed on your web page and they said they had never heard of
your company.
Why don't they know who you are?
A: We are
a new and innovative approach for access to affordable healthcare. With over 700,000
providers nationwide it should be expected that many providers will not be familiar with
our name just yet. However, the providers listed on our web page DO have agreements with
the PPO networks providing services to our members.
Your Identification Cards, which include the appropriate PPO network names, will have the
necessary information for the provider to process your savings benefits.
Q: How do I know which providers will honor the
my Membership Card?
A: When you enroll, you will receive an enrollment
packet that includes a list of the healthcare providers in your area who participate in

plan?
A: No. Any member in good standing can use the plan
regardless of age.
Q: Can I use these benefits if I have insurance?
A: Yes, this plan is designed to assist everyone in
saving money and it does not matter if you have insurance coverage.
Q: I already have insurance. How does the plan work with my
insurance?
A: There are many types of insurance coverage and it
is not possible for us to offer advice how our plan works with all of these various types
of insurance coverage. Our plans do provide a reduced price for the service you receive from a provider. The cost for the
services rendered to you is repriced BEFORE any insurance benefit is applied to the cost.
Our plans
may reduce the out-of-pocket expense that you are required to pay and is not paid by your
insurance coverage. For example, if you have a high deductible with your insurance
coverage, our plans may reduce your
out-of-pocket expenses not reimbursed by your insurance coverage. Of course, for those
services or products not covered by your insurance but included in our
plans, you will receive savings benefits.
Q: What if I'm traveling or moving and need to use the
plan?
A: That's not a problem. Click on Provider
Locator and see
who is available in that area or contact Member Services and a Representative will gladly
help you.
Q: Why would a provider be interested in your Plans?
A: Currently, millions of Americans have limited
healthcare benefits or none at all, and cannot afford the cost of medical services. With
the Health Benefit Card Plus plan,
consumers can more easily afford the cost of these services and the providers see this as
an opportunity to acquire new patients and increase their practice. In addition, healthcare professions eliminate the
never-ending stream of red tape, payment delays and expense typically associated with
patients filing insurance claims.
Q: How do I know which providers will honor my Membership Card?
A: When you enroll, you will receive an enrollment
packet that will include a list of the healthcare providers in your area that participate
in the PPO Networks in our plan. Information on specialists and other services can also be
obtained by calling the toll-free Member Services number listed in your enrollment packet.
Q: Do I have to wait until I get my Identification Card or
can I get the savings
now?
A: You must wait until you receive your Identification
Card before obtaining any savings. The provider will need your card to verify your
enrollment and to obtain certain information from the card.
Q: How do I locate providers in other areas?
A: Just click on
Provider
Locator to see who is available in that area.
Q: If I have a change in my membership information, what do
I do?
A: Contact Member Services and we will update your
information.
Q: I have moved and need a provider list for my new area.
What do I do?
A: Contact Member Services. We will update your
information and mail you a new provider list for your area.
Q: Can you send me a monthly bill instead of automatically
charging my credit/debit card or debiting my checking account?
A: In order to keep costs and prices low and still
provide the best service possible, we have eliminated the expense of direct billing and
only provide our automated service.
