Q: I signed up for Careington discount plan at $39.95 per month before I saw the lower prices at www.ehealthdiscountplan.com Is there any difference in the plans or is it only a difference in marketing charge?
A: The benefits are the same but since there is no sales agent commission to pay, the online price is lower. The comprehensive plan with Dental, Vision, Prescription, Chiropractic, Hearing, Physician and Hospital, 24 Hour Nurse Line is $29.95, If you pay annually, the price is even lower at $269 per household per year. Unfortunately many of the distribution systems for PPO discount plans use some type of multi-level marketing scheme. So if you can save money by enrolling online, that makes more sense. Careington will refund your earlier fee paid on request. The listing of benefits is available either online or downloadable as a PDF file under the column "what you get" on the home page at www.ehealthdiscountplan.com .
