DISCOUNT PLANSDiscount health plans are not to be confused with health insurance. As the name suggests, they simply provide a discounted rate for services. They provide a much cheaper alternative to health insurance for those who, for whatever reason, simply cannot obtain health insurance (due to pre-existing conditions) or cannot afford it. Discount plans can be broad in scope or they can be targeted towards specific costs, such as a discount drug card or a vision-dental discount plan. Discount drug cards are a particularly helpful way to relieve the costs of prescription drugs for those who take medications regularly. Discount plans are often a helpful way to help with your costs with a high deductible health insurance plan. Discount drug plans can also be combined with a health insurance plan that does not include prescription drug coverage, or for individuals who have pre-existing conditions that are excluded from their individual health insurance plans. They are often as low as $10/month. To learn more about discount plans of any sort, contact AC Forrest Insurance Group.
