Austin, TX (PRWEB via PR Web Direct)
August 9, 2005 -- MaternityCard, through its parent company Affordable Health
Care Options (AHCO), is helping expectant mothers find financial relief with
innovative maternity benefits and services.
With www.MaternityCard.com,
AHCO offers their customers a simple means of saving substantially on the costs
of having a child. Their services are aimed at those who don't have health
insurance, don't qualify for government assistance, or do have health insurance
but don't have coverage for the cost of having a baby. The segment of the
population that falls into these categories is growing every day.
A www.MaternityCard.com
client can expect to save up to 60% off of the usual and customary rates which
uninsured parents are usually expected to pay to the physicians and hospitals.
With their services, there are no exclusions for pre-existing
conditions, no high premiums, no co-pays or deductibles, and no lengthy claims
forms to fill out. The Patient Advocacy Team assists the clients through every
stage of pregnancy, contacting physicians and hospitals directly to obtain the
most savings, through contracts and negotiations.
Clients save on every
medical aspect of their pregnancy, including doctor visits, lab work,
ultrasounds, prenatal vitamins, prescriptions, hospital stay and
anesthesiologist, any complications, and post-natal care for the mother and
child.
April 5, 2005, The Wall Street Journal, CHILDBIRTH FOR
BARGAIN-HUNTERS, says, "Pregnant woman are by necessity and ingenuity paving the
way in what is called 'consumer driven' health care." And, "a typical childbirth
can run anywhere from $7,000 to $12,000." Also, www.MaternityCard.com is
mentioned in the article as one of the innovative alternatives for uninsured
pregnant woman.
Kelly Jones, Winnemucca, NV says that www.MaternityCard.com has
been a good experience. "We found your information on the web after we found out
we were pregnant before our maternity insurance kicked in. We were really
nervous about all the high bills that were starting to come in, especially since
we were having twins. When I finally decided to make the call, everyone was so
helpful and supportive. It really made me feel more at ease knowing I had some
help when I needed it. They saved me at least $9000 on one bill, and I didn't
have to deal with the hospital! That was so important to me because I was able
to spend more time with my new babies."
One of the founders, Angelo
Feller, recently used www.MaternityCard.com for the birth of his fifth child. "I'm a
pro at the delivery room paper shuffle, and this birth was the smoothest one,
yet!" AHCO and www.MaternityCard.com have contracted rates with a network of
over 450,000 providers, and pass those savings directly to the customers,
allowing them to save much more than an uninsured individual could possibly save
on their own behalf.
AHCO offers a wide variety of consumer driven
healthcare products for individuals and families, including a Co-Pay
Prescription Card benefit, Critical Illness & Accident benefits, as well as
more comprehensive benefit programs for those in need of our services. These
benefits are offered, as well as the www.MaternityCard.com program, specifically to meet a growing
need among Americans for peace-of-mind in the current state of the health care
industry.
