Saving Money: Pre-negotiated Health Care Service Pricing

As mentioned in the book, if you do not have health insurance, you will get the worst pricing given to anyone because no one has negotiated a rate for you. I encourage readers to discuss pricing and negotiate rates for themselves. If you are uncomfortable doing this, then consider using a discount service or membership; these are not health insurance plans as they do not assume any financial liability for the costs you incur. What they do is to negotiate discounted rates for health care services; you benefit by getting the discounted rate based upon your subscription to their service.

There are a few different discount services available, some offer only prescriptions (Costco Prescription Program), some offer only primary care service discounting (SimplecareTM), and some offer discounts for dental services in addition to primary care and prescriptions (AmeriPlan). Depending on what you need, look into them; you might even want to use the dental benefits from one, use the primary care discounts from another, and use the Costco prescription program or grocery store generics for prescriptions-depending on your particular situation. I called a local clinic that participates with both primary care discount memberships and either way, you will probably save money rather paying the cash pricing. One had better discounts but may be a little more expensive-the specifics of your region and personal situation will truly determine which is better for you.

I have requested to set up a number of brokers for the comprehensive service discount company because although many people have health insurance, they do not have dental benefits. Oral care can affect other body conditions and functions as documented in the book. For a relatively low monthly fee, one can get terrific discounts when seeing a participating dentist.

As always, do your own research and make your own conclusions so that you can be confident about your decision, before spending any money.
