Health Plan Scams
Consumer Assistance Program, Office of the VT Attorney General
www.atg.state.vt.us
Beware: As medical costs continue to skyrocket, you may hear of health plans or discount cards offering bargain premiums and promises of big savings that are too good to be true-- promises like:
"Save up to 80% on all healthcare and Rx costs! Over 50,000 healthcare providers nationwide!"
"You can save as much as 40% on leading brand name drugs!"
The problem:
Up to and as much as don't mean that that's the size of the discount you'll get.
There may not be any doctors, pharmacists or other providers anywhere near where you live.
You may be asked to pay in advance before you have a chance to compare prices.
Before signing up for a discount medical plan:
Confirm with your doctor, pharmacy or other providers that they do participate in the plan and will accept your card.
Request and review a complete plan handbook and list of network providers.
Never give out your credit card or bank account number or pay up front.
Discount medical plans are not insurance, and they are not currently regulated. For help deciding whether a company selling health coverage is legitimate, call the Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration at 1-800-631-7788.

Correction:
The amount of frozen, low-calorie whipped topping in last month's Simple Strawberry Mousse recipe should have been 1½ cups.
