It can be so frustrating when two of your most important healthcare needs are skimped on or downright left out of your health insurance coverage. Are you tired of struggling to find approved providers in your area, or paying way more out of pocket than your pocket can afford?

In many cases, riders to health care plans for dental and vision end up just about breaking even at the end of the year, with the maximum benefit capped at not much more than the annual premium. In addition finding dentist and optometrists who accept your medical card for these benefits can be hard to find.

This can lead to putting off vision exams and new glasses or contacts, as well as missing vision issues that can grow rapidly worse. The same goes for your dental health – if it’s too much hassle and expense to even get your two recommended cleanings a year, gum disease and cavities can wreak havoc on a previously healthy mouth.

Fortunately, there are other options. Dental and vision discounts obtained through a 2BenefitU enhanced health and wellness benefit family membership plan provides better discounts on dental and vision care than many health insurance policies do.

Dental Discounts

Aetna Dental ® Access comes with an official enrollment card that can be presented at over 195,000 dental providers nationwide* and net you savings ranging from 15% – 50% per visit* on average. Save on common dental services including:

• Cleanings
• X-rays
• Fillings
• Crowns
• Root canals

Periodontic and orthodontic care can also be heavily discounted – in fact, many members sign up for this particular program for the orthodontic benefit alone, as it is more than most dental insurance plans offer! Best of all, the entire household is covered, meaning you and your family members can use the card as many times as needed.

Vision Discounts

Coast to Coast Vision™ brings you significant discounts from familiar participating chains you know and trust. Save big on basic vision care services and products, including:

• 10% – 30% off eye exams from participating providers
• 10% – 40% off of contact lenses and access to lowest pricing
• 15% – 40% off of eyeglasses and sunglasses online
• 20% – 60% off of prescription eyewear at participating chains
• 40% to 50% off the national average cost of LASIK eye surgery

Both spouses and all dependents can use the membership for all of their qualifying vision needs. You can even nominate your own eye specialist for inclusion in the plan.

Don’t keep paying over and over for dental and vision plans plus out of pocket costs. Dental and vision are both part of the upgraded family memberships provided along with up to 20 other services for a low monthly subscription starting at just $19.95 a month.

*As of May 2016. **Actual costs and savings vary by provider, service and geographical area.
