28WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
As a start up company, We are not in a position
to incorporate a comprehensive health care plan.
In the short time that we have had the health
care card It has already proved its value.Two
weeks after applying for my card I had a dental
emergency. We located a dental provider near our
offices. The tooth capped and another one
filled. My card saved me 200. WE
Stone, Fresno CA Ive never been so excited in
my life.I recently had refractive surgery on both
my eyes. My doctors original quote was 3700, I
showed my HealthCare card and saved 740.
MT Hibbard, Long Beach,CA
I was skeptical
when my mother purchased your Healthcare Card .
Her required 7 prescriptions, include Glucophage,
Avandia, and Fosamax, at a cost of over 350. A
month. Now she pays 243, a savings of 107 a
month. This program is amazing
Viola Weber, Redwood City, CA I recently
added this program as a benefit for my staff. I
had an immediate positive feedback. My
receptionist saved 780 when she found that her
Orthodontist was on the program. John
Maxwell, Reno, Nv
29 WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY continued
Several months ago I applied for your
Healthcare Card with some skepticism, since many
of the offers of savings advertised today rarely
work out for the buyers. However, I am now
convinced of its incredible value after only
having the card for a couple of months. Within
the last few weeks, I have actually saved 140,
and that was using just one of my many benefits.
I saved 80 on contact lenses for my daughter
and 60 on eyeglasses for myself. I am amazed at
the true value your card offers and will now be
offering your card to my entire staff,
Paul Edwards, Banning,CA Since my wife's
Chiropractor participates, she doesnt have to
change doctors and saves 50 a month on her
treatments. Dan Raples, Palos Verdes
Estates, CA A quick note to let you know how
pleased I am with the Healthcare Vision Plan. We
saved a total of 338 on lenses, frames and eye
exams. The best part of the money savings, but
not to be overlooked was the fact that we were
treated pleasantly and our business was
appreciated.We look forward to using you plan and
the other benefits again. Jim Spenser,
Tucson, AZ I picked out some new flexible
frames with progressive bifocals and scratch
resistance. My total came to 424. When I showed
my Healthcare Card, the price was refigured and
for the same glasses I paid 219.A 205
SAVINGS. Nice benefits,,,, Norma Maxwell,
Glendale, CA
