Fellow MCA-I Members:
I am truly excited to be sending this announcement of our long-awaited limited medical health insurance plan for our U.S. members. Most of you know that we thought we had a plan in place very early this year, only to see the insurance company pull out when they weren’t able to secure underwriting. By contrast, we now have a fully insured limited health and medical plan.
The great news is you can sign up today. To outline, the plan provides several options:
- Limited Medical Plan – $129.95 to $369.95/month.
- Insurance benefits to include hospitalization, doctor’s visits, ICU, surgical benefits, emergency room and more.
- Medical Discount Programs to include network discounts for physicians and hospital, 4-tier prescription program, dental, vision, chiropractic, hearing, alternative medicine and more.
- Service Programs include patient advocacy, 24-hour Nurseline, 24-7 mental health counseling, emergency medical transportation, and electronic medical information storage.
- Prescription Plan – $19.95-$29.95/month. 4-Tier Prescription Program allows members to select prescriptions from a preferred drug list and pay a fixed fee of $10, $20, & $40 or less for the scheduled quantity and dose. Most non-preferred drugs are available at a discounted rate up to 40% off retail, with an average of 16% off for brand-name medications. Mail order services are also available for maintenance medications at a substantial savings.
- Dental Plan – $ 9.95/month. Save up to 65% off the usual charges of dental care.
I haven’t tried to go into all the details, but obviously there are various options available to you now. To learn more, call 1-800-265-2876 ext. 6.
The officers and board of MCA-I are pleased to present this plan. It’s just one more example of our continuing efforts to provide you the most for your membership dues.
Sincerely,
Dr. Al Richardson
Immediate Past President
