Medical & Health Care Discount Cards

AmeriPlus and its staff assisted the largest national Preferred Provider Organization develop its Medical Discount Card program.

The Discount Health Care Card is synonymous with the Medical Discount Card. The Medical Discount Card is not an insurance plan, but a method where the consumer will receive a discount from charges in return for prompt pay. The consumer is responsible for paying the bill minus the discount obtained by the PPO.

AmeriPlus' staff contacted providers who had an existing contract with the Preferred Provider Organization to explain in detail how the Discount Medical Card worked, who would be the end user of the card, and the ease of operation. The PPO was intent on the provider understanding the mechanics of how the program worked so there would be no misunderstanding by the provider at a later time. An addendum was signed to the current contract by the provider agreeing to participate in the Discount Health Care Card program for the consumer/patient in return for prompt pay.

More and more employers are adopting Consumer Driven Health Care programs to replace or complement their traditional insurance benefit plans. Individuals are purchasing Medical Discount Cards in order to alleviate the high cost of insurance plans.

An important position PPO's must take is to evolve programs to fit the changing needs of healthcare consumers, payers and providers. Today, our industry faces dramatic changes with the growing shift toward consumerism. AmeriPlus and its staff are available to assist you during these changing times.

In the past, Discount Medical Cards have been under close scrutiny, but when a provider looks closely at the return benefits for participating with the Medical Discount Card, it is easy to see the benefit to the provider and patient. The provider reduces the days in accounts receivable, and receives prompt pay from the patient/consumer for services rendered. The patient/consumer receives a discount for services rendered by the health care provider in return for prompt payment.

There has been some confusion and abuse from companies in the past offering a Medical Discount Card, but the companies that provide an ethical and well managed Medical Discount Card program are the ones who will succeed.

AmeriPlus is in the business to be successful and ethical, and will only align itself with ethical companies who provide a disclaimer to the consumer that the discount card they are purchasing is not an insurance plan, but simply a discount from charges for prompt pay by the patient. Actual providers must also be aware they have agreed to provide a discount to Medical Discount card holders.
