|
What is Companion Care? | |
|
|
Companion Care is a Healthcare Discount Plan. We arrange access for our members to medical, dental, pharmaceutical, chiropractic, vision and other healthcare providers who have agreed to offer their services at negotiated discounts off their usual and customary fees. |
|
|
|
How much of a discount can I expect when I use my Companion Care card? | |
|
|
Discounts vary based on a number of factors such as geographic location, provider specialty, services performed, etc. Generally, Members can expect to save 10% - 60% off the provider's usual and customary fees. |
|
|
|
Are ongoing medical conditions included? | |
|
|
Since Companion Care is NOT INSURANCE, all ongoing medical conditions are accepted. |
|
|
|
How long must I wait before I can start using my Companion Care card? | |
|
|
You can start using your Companion Care card as soon as you receive it in the mail; generally 7-10 days after you register. And, there is no paperwork to fill out, and no limits on visits to your providers! |

How do I use Companion Care? | |
|
|
Within 7-10 days after you sign-up, you will receive your personalized Companion Care Membership Kit in the mail. The kit includes Membership Identification cards and a Member Information Guide that describes the benefits included in the Companion Care plan you have selected, and how to use them. To use Companion Care, just present your Membership ID card to any participating provider and you will be eligible to receive discounted fees as long as you pay the provider in-full at the time of service. |

|
|
Can Companion Care be used in conjunction with regular insurance plans? | |
|
|
The Companion Care Physician Visit card will provide savings on a variety of different medical services and products; however, it is difficult to say if it will work with every insurance plan. The key is that it could help save the member money as they meet their specific deductible. The Companion Care Physician Visit Card will discount procedures that the insurance plan might limit or not cover at all, for example, pre-existing conditions, cosmetic surgery procedures, alternative medicine and many other specialties. |
|
|
|
Can other family members use my Companion Care card? | |
|
|
Companion Care allows everyone in your household to use one card at one low monthly rate. For your convenience, additional cards personalized for other members of your household can be provided upon request at an additional one-time fee of $2.50 per personalized card. If you lose your card and require a replacement, the same $2.50 fee applies. |

|
How are discounts calculated? | |
|
|
We negotiate rates with each provider in our networks based upon either a mutually agreed-upon fee schedule that details the specific amounts the provider can charge to our Members for various medical procedures or services, or as a percentage-off the provider's usual and customary charges. |
|
|
|
What if I don't receive the correct discount? | |
|
|
If you have any reason to believe you haven't received the appropriate discount for services from a participating provider, call us toll-free at (800) 800-7616. We will review the charges and discounts for accuracy. If you are legitimately entitled to a discount and haven't received it from a participating provider, we will make sure you are reimbursed for the difference between the amount you paid the provider and the amount you should have paid. |
