You and the U.S. Health Care Crisis: How is the Health Care Crisis affecting you? Better yet, how are you affecting it? (Part II)

Greetings,

But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

Welcome to another issue of By His Stripes… Previously, we began a discussion about alternative ways to get quality health care for our family at an affordable rate. Discount-fee-for-service plans are alternative health care plans that help us to provide quality health care for our families even on our most strict budget. This is a very good way to accomplish the goal of keeping our families healthy. If we choose the right one for our family, we could save thousands of dollars every year.

This is part two of the series where we will take a look at Vision Care. Many of the discount-fee-for-service plans will offer a vision plan. With this vision plan, you save anywhere from 10% to 60% on your eye care needs. This is huge, especially if you have a large family!!

Just to show you an example of the savings, I used my discount-fee-for-service vision plan at a well known provider. The initial cost of my specific eye exam was originally $45.00. Upon checkout, I gave the receptionist my member card. She said my new balance was $10.00. That’s a savings of 68%! There were no claim forms or any other paperwork required. I must reiterate, this was for my particular eye exam. I do not wear eyeglasses therefore your eye exam may cost a different price.

I just wanted to show you a real example of how we can save money, and lots of it, using these types of plans. Fore more examples, visit here and click on testimonials, then vision to read more stories of exciting savings.

What excites me is we can get a plan that is nation wide. It doesn’t matter where we are in the U.S. If we have an emergency, like you sat on your glasses and shattered your lenses or lost a contact lens, we can look for a provider in our area and get a replacement.

We can save up to 60% on all the services rendered. In part one; we spoke about restrictions and exclusions. With the vision plan, there aren’t any as well. This means that the entire store would be on sale to us if we used a discount-fee-for-service vision plan. We can choose whatever we want and still receive instant savings.

Are you tired of having to replace your eyewear? Some discount-fee-for-service vision plans allow for additional savings on contact lenses if we use their mail order program. We can also even save on Lasik eye surgery with certain providers in selected markets.

Now get this!! What if you wanted to treat yourself to a pair of non-prescription designer sunglasses? This could be very expensive. With your discount-fee-for-service plan, you can look great at an affordable rate shopping the world’s largest online optical store and don’t need a prescription. On some plans, we even get a 30-day money back guarantee on all merchandise.

Discount-fee-for-service vision plans are a smart alternative for those of us who are uninsured or under insured. This type of alternative can help us to address our health care needs affordably while reducing the negative effect of the U.S. health care crisis. We can now afford to take care of our eyes so we can continue to enjoy seeing of our loved ones. With healthy eyes, we can watch our children grow into beautiful young men and women.

Stay tuned for the next issue of By His Stripes… where we will discuss Prescription Drug Plans.
