AmeriPlan ® Blog at Great Dental and Health

For the first $50 of any roadside assistance you need, you can just sign your name and walk away.  Any fees beyond this and you receive a significant discount.  Most people don’t have any type of roadside assistance program to rely on in a bad situation; then they get stuck somewhere and wish they did.  AmeriPlan ® added this program to the “Total Health Plus”, but I have yet to need it myself.  Has anyone used this yet, and if so, how was it?

I have spoken with many people over the years about our Dental and Health programs.  One of the most common reactions I get is that people don’t understand how AmeriPlan ® works if it isn’t insurance. The best way I can describe it is in this article; How AmeriPlan Dental ® works. I have also found that the same people don’t really understand how dental and health insurance work. It can be a very dry subject, but what healthcare costs today, it’s in everyone’s best interest to know what is best for their families.

Most people believe that the best time begin a new business is when the economy is at its best. The reality though is exactly the opposite, the best time to buy a stock is when it is the cheapest. Those who buy the stock when it is at its highest stand little chance of succeeding. AmeriPlan ® is always a good buy for any family, but the best time to start an AmeriPlan ® business is right now! The need for our program has never been stronger and AmeriPlan ® has stepped up to fill the country’s need. Have you ever thought about going into business for yourself?

The economy seems to be slowing its progression and recent events have begun pointing at a big correction, or at worst, a recession.  Where does AmeriPlan Dental ® fit in?  The real estate market is falling to match its actual value, oil prices are again on the rise in the face of record demand and interest rates will begin lowering soon to speed up trading.  During this 1 - 2  year time period, will people be looking for quality discount dental and health programs, or is healthcare moving down the list of priorities for most Americans?

I recently had to visit the dentist to have a wisdom tooth removed.  I should have done it years ago, but I don’t really enjoy going to the dentist.  I never needed to have anything major done to my teeth and I was very nervous about the procedure.  Surprisingly, after the shots, I never felt a thing and the whole process only took about 15 minutes.  Then the receptionist produced a bill for me; after my AmeriPlan ® savings the whole bill was less $100.  That included the drugs, the procedure and the follow up!  Now I can’t understand why I waited so long.  Anyone else have an AmeriPlan ® experience they would like to share?

This year, AmeriPlan ® is 15 years old.  A large part of the country still has not heard of us yet, but we gain ground every day.  If you have no dental or you need an affordable health program, AmeriPlan ® is a well established alternative to traditional insurance.  Please visit Great Dental and Health for further details on how the program works and how it can serve you best.

Starting in July this year, AmeriPlan ® has begun phasing out the individual memberships in favor of 4 household based packages instead.  If you already are an individual member nothing will change for you, but soon new customers will no longer have the ability to join this way.  I havn’t heard a single complaint from the IBO community on this issue, so I guess everyone is OK with it.  Is there a reason to keep the individual memberships, or am I just resisting change?

The extra money in residual for signing a health member is nice, but WoW is it ever more complex.  The Dental Program is so simple and easy to use because it has been the best for so long.  I remember back when AmeriPlan ® was just the Dental Program and how excited we were when the Health was gearing up for release.  Now the Dental Program is still rock solid and simple and the Health is a headache.  Can we make this work, or are we headed for full health retreat?

I think that the new Prescription Program is outstanding.  You have to make below a certain household income to qualify and the monthly cost is about $90, but in return your maintainance drug costs drop to $0.  If you are a senior citizen or injured and in need of many medications each month, this is the way to go!  Why didn’t we do this a long time ago?

The health law situation in Florida is the most dynamic in the country.  This year, Florida is requiring the recertification of all healthcare companies including AmeriPlan ®.  So, we wait for the new changes in member packages to take effect whenever Florida gets to us.  Should AmeriPlan ® keep Florida seperate and roll out the rest of the country, or wait for the next recount?
