A <a href=\"\/health-benefit-plan\/\">health benefit plan<\/a> is not the same as a health insurance plan. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You purchase a plan that covers your entire household for less than $40 per month. Then, whenever you need health services, you make an appointment with a local in-network doctor, who has agreed to provide medical services at a discounted rate. (Please note that to receive the discount, you must pay when you receive your services.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A health benefit plan is an excellent option for those without health insurance. It reduces out-of-pocket costs on doctor&#8217;s appointments, prescription drugs, and other healthcare services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, a health benefit plan can be used by those with a high deductible health insurance plan. If this describes your situation, you can use a health benefit plan to receive discounts for your healthcare services. (Please note that if you use a medical discount plan and pay cash for services, the amount you spend will not go toward your deductible.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Coverage_Options_for_People_Over_65\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Coverage Options for People Over 65<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you turn 65, you are eligible for Medicare, a federal health insurance program. During open enrollment, you have the option of signing up for Original Medicare (Medicare Parts A &amp; B) or a Medicare Advantage Plan (Medicare Part C).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Medicare covers most medically necessary healthcare services, it does not <a href=\"\/dental-plus\/\">cover visits to the dentist<\/a> or eye doctor. This is where the medical discount plan can help. For an average monthly cost of less than $40, your household can receive discounts for services you receive from your local eye doctor or dentist. And unlike health insurance companies, a <a href=\"\/healthcare-providers\/\">medical discount plan company<\/a> doesn&#8217;t require you to fill out lengthy forms or receive a physical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-fusion-600 wp-image-2258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"medical costs\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ameriplanusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medical-costs.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_Discount_Plans_vs_Health_InsuranceMedicare\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical Discount Plans vs. Health Insurance\/Medicare<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, a medical discount plan is different from health insurance you would purchase from an insurance company.

To get the best health insurance coverage (with a low deductible and comprehensive coverage,) expect to pay over $1,000 monthly in health insurance premiums. Plans with high deductibles are more affordable \u2013 but you will have high out-of-pocket costs before your health insurance kicks in and pays for services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Medical discount plans:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Medical discount plans are affordable \u2013 and can be used by the entire household. And there are no household income requirements for purchasing a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Medicare:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Medicare coverage is great for those without retiree health benefits. However, <a href=\"\/discount-plans-vs-insurance\/\">Medicare doesn&#8217;t cover all of your health care costs<\/a> \u2013 such as prescription drug coverage and visits to the dentist and eye doctor. You can purchase a marketplace plan to cover these essential <a href=\"\/health-savings-plans\/\">health benefits<\/a>, but you will have to pay more for these plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Medical discount plans:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/choosing-discount-health-plan\/\"> Medical discount plans<\/a> can be used with your Original Medicare plan to make things that Medicare doesn&#8217;t cover more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unsatisfied with your health insurance options, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an <a href=\"\/\">AmeriPlan<\/a> consultant.
