With heath care changes that are uncertain many employers are looking to save money on their company plans. More often than not the low hanging fruit is to raise the deductible. This has an immediate impact on the cost of premiums and the out of pocket costs to the insured.
To help combat this problem many companies are going to Medical Discount benefits. They are low cost, high impact and easy to use.
Discount plans can vary, but most offer an immediate discount on dental procedures, prescription drugs and eyeglasses. One of the most popular benefits is the talk to a doctor plan. It is an amazing benefit that allows the customer to call 24/7 from anywhere in the US and speak to a live board certified medical doctor about any medical issue they may have. The Doctor will even phone them in a prescription at their pharmacy of choice if needed!
With the high cost of health care and with deductibles being raised the medical discount business is a economical way to help. Keep in mind It is not insurance nor is it intended to replace insurance however.
