Yes

Yes, but it is at the physician's discretion whether to accept both. As with our Dental Plus™ program, a member's insurance should always be the primary form of payment.

All members should receive a minimum 15% discount.

There are many reasons. Some of the most important are:

1. Patient care and treatment are put back into the physician's hands.
2. The provider gets paid at the time of care. Many insurance plans take up to 120 days for payment.
3. Office administrative costs are reduced. No paperwork to complete, file and follow up on.
4. Providers may receive a net increase in revenue to the practice versus insurance (HMO or PPO).
5. The provider is part of an affiliation of like-minded professionals, without being "under the thumb" of managed care.
6. AmeriPlan® provides members with quality, discounted healthcare.

The Hospital Advocacy program is designed to help members with their medical bills whenever a single hospital stay totals $2,500. Charges can be incurred from multiple providers. The patient advocate negotiates in behalf of the patient advocate and pursues a wide range of options, from government entitlement programs to payment plans.

The rates that the provider charges are determined based upon either a set fee schedule that the provider has contracted, or as a percentage off of their billed charges. In general, discounts will vary between 20% and 50%. Labs and diagnostics will have discounts of up to 80%.

There are three ways to locate a provider:

3. Call AmeriPlan Health® customer service at 800-647-8421.
