Insurance Costs Getting Out of Hand? Discount Dental and Discount Vision Plans Offer Useful Alternative

As controversial filmmaker Michael Moore releases the DVD of Sicko, his popular documentary about the state of U.S. healthcare, many Americans are more concerned than ever with the inflated cost of staying healthy. As an alternative or compliment to pricey insurance, those individuals can purchase an Atlantic Benefit Card offering discount dental and discount vision plans, as well as price cuts on medication, vitamins, hearing issues, diabetic care and even legal fees.

“We see this as a great option for the millions of U.S. citizens who can’t afford the best healthcare out there,” says Russ Carlson, present of Atlantic Benefit Card. “The whole system is getting out of hand, and these discount dental and discount vision plans can really make it easier for families to get the teeth and eye care they need.”

Atlantic Benefit Card’s discount dental and discount vision plans are available to anyone, no matter what their current situation, for a small monthly or slightly larger yearly fee.

With the discount dental plans, members can get 15 to 50 percent on everything from general dentistry and cleanings to root canals, crowns and orthodontia, from more than 71,000 available dental practice locations nationwide. Members can also save on routine dental services such as x-rays and filings, as well as specialty care such as orthodontics and periodontics.

The discount vision plans include a comprehensive network of ophthalmologists, optometrists, independent optical centers and national chain locations such as Pearle Vision, JCPenney Optical, Sears Optical, Target Optical, LensCrafters and EyeMasters. Members can receive savings on prescription eyewear and contact lenses.

“These discount dental and discount vision plans give opportunities to those who otherwise wouldn’t have it,” Carlson says. “We feel we are providing a real service to this country by helping its citizens in a useful and unique way.”

All practitioners involved with the discount dental and discount vision plans are credentialed and re-credentialed on an ongoing basis. For more information, go to http://www.atlanticbenefitcard.com.
