Q:
Why do doctors or other providers want to participate in this
type of program?
A: When a medical provider joins a network, such as USA’s
network, they receive contracted rates, get paid for their
services at the time they are performed rather than waiting
long periods of time for insurance payments, and have the
opportunity to acquire more patients. |
|
Q:
If I move or am traveling to another state can I still use
my benefits?
A: Your USA benefits are accepted throughout the United States.
In fact many benefits will save you money on travel expenses
and give you peace of mind if a medical emergency should occur.
USA benefit providers are available throughout the United
States to assist you. If you move, please update your membership
information in a timely manner with USA. |
|
Q:
Do I have to sign a yearly contract to be a USA member?
A: There is no long-term contract to sign. Payment of your
first monthly dues and the one-time registration fee entitles
you to all of the USA benefits. Your membership is active
from that point forward and you may cancel at anytime with
a thirty day written notice. After the company receives your
written notice your benefits will be canceled on the next
monthly due date. |
|
Q:
Can I provide these benefits to the employees of my company?
A: Yes. In fact, throughout USA’s history, many small
and midsize companies have provided USA benefits to their
employees. In today’s economy, many companies have been
forced to reduce or do away with employee health insurance
due to the impact on the company’s bottom line. The
USA benefits have increased the benefit package for the employees,
saved the employees money, have been an attractive recruiting
tool for the company, and have reduced the companies cost
for employee benefits. |
