Not on how healthy you are, and not on what might go wrong. On the ordinary, repeating costs you could already list from memory. Here are five households set out as what they spend on across a year — including the one we would turn away.
Nothing complicated. A maintenance medication or two collected every month, an eye test once a year, new lenses when the prescription moves. The most common household we speak to, and the easiest arithmetic to check — you already know what the pharmacy charges you.
Every category this household touches is on the smallest plan. Paying for Elite here would be buying thirteen categories nobody uses.
A crown somebody was quoted for months ago and has been quietly dreading. Dental is the single category most likely to justify a plan on its own, because the retail prices are high and the discount applies to each visit rather than once.
Dental is on Elite and nothing else, at any price. On the annual term that is $24.92 a month — less than the Preferred monthly rate.
Diabetes, a heart condition, anything meaning regular blood work, repeat prescriptions and consumables that never stop. The value here is not one big saving; it is a modest saving on something bought every single month for years.
Diabetic supplies and physician discounts both start at Premier. If lab work is the bigger cost and supplies are not, Preferred may be enough — ask.
You are managing somebody else’s appointments, prescriptions and equipment on top of your own life, and half the difficulty is administrative rather than medical. This is the household where the services matter more than the percentages.
Health advocacy and 24/7 telehealth are Elite only, and they are the two things that take work off you rather than money off a price.
Good health, nothing taken regularly, eyes fine, a dentist seen last year with nothing found. You are here because somebody mentioned it. A membership costs the same every month whether or not it gets used.
Come back when something changes — a prescription, a diagnosis, dental work quoted. Nobody will chase you in the meantime.
The networks are national. It works where you live and wherever you happen to be, not only at a home provider.
There is no annual maximum and no point at which the card stops working because it has been used too often.
No underwriting, no medical history, no waiting period. Existing conditions change nothing.
Join in any month. The card works from the day it arrives, ten business days later.
This is the question asked most often, and the honest answer has two halves.
Tell us what your year actually contains and which state you are in, and you will get the same treatment the five above did — including being told no, if that is the answer.
