When it comes to your long-term health, you probably know how important it is to visit your primary care doctor for an annual check-up. But it’s important to schedule regular dental and vision appointments as well!
However, most traditional health insurance plans don’t cover those costs, which creates a need to supplement health insurance with additional dental and vision insurance. And balancing two — or sometimes three — types of insurance is complicated!
But Health Access Solutions makes it simple. HAS isn’t typical insurance, and that means you can have access to vision and dental exams without the limiting restrictions of traditional health insurance.
Here’s Jason’s story of how he had his annual vision exam and dental cleaning for free — 100% reimbursed — with his Health Access Benefit.
I have a good routine for my annual check-ups, but I’m not as consistent with my eye appointments or teeth cleanings. That’s because my previous vision and dental insurance plans were super complicated. At this point, I’d delayed these appointments longer than I care to admit, plus I wanted to see how HAS reimbursement worked as a cash-pay patient.
So I called the eye doctor that I liked and scheduled an appointment. When I showed up, the receptionist asked for my insurance and I told her that I was a cash-pay patient. She instantly gave me a 25% discount off their advertised rate. I only paid $89 for my eye exam!
A few weeks later, I went to my dentist to get my teeth cleaned. Like before, the receptionist asked for my insurance information and I told her that I was a cash-pay patient. Just like my eye doctor, my dentist also charged me 25% less. My entire visit only cost $120. And I left with that refreshing feeling of squeaky clean teeth, which reminded me that I should really go to the dentist more regularly.
After both appointments, I submitted my receipts for reimbursement. It was really simple (especially compared to my previous insurance experiences). I was really surprised to see that I was eligible for 100% reimbursement of my vision and dental costs. Thank you, HAS, for saving me $209!
What Worked for this Member?
With his Health Access Benefit, Jason was able to schedule long-overdue preventative care appointments while saving hundreds of dollars! He saw his preferred optometrist and dentist in Florida without the hassle of network restrictions. As a cash-pay patient, he saved an additional 25% off the standard insurance rates. And since his total expenses were under $250, Jason qualified for 100% reimbursement of preventive care. That means HAS reimbursed him the entire cost of both his vision exam and dental visit!
As a Health Access Solutions member, you get the same benefits. You can shop around to find the provider that you prefer, can gain cash-pay patient discounts, and are eligible for up to $250 of reimbursements for vision and dental exams.
