Testimonials
Testimonials
AmeriPlanMD Plus is awesome. I have used the services
for both myself and my son during times at which we just
couldn’t make into a doctor’s office. Calling in and giving
your medical history assessment is easy. After describing
symptoms to the nurse and being told a doctor would call
me back within an hour, 15-30 minutes later I received that
call. The doctor took all of 5 minutes to make the diagnosis
and recommend the prescription drug that he would call in
for me at my local Wal-Mart pharmacy. The entire
experience from that initial call to actually going to Wal-Mart
to pick up my Rx was about 2 hours! AmeriPlanMD Plus is
one of the best add on's AmeriPlan could have made.
Hassle free and low cost when I needed it the most, Thanks
AmeriPlanMD Plus !

My blood pressure medication is usually $100/mo. but got
started with Ameriplan, and only pay $30/mo. for my blood
pressure medicine!!! Thank you Ameriplan!!
Shannon H., Durham, NC
A few weeks ago,I was very sick, running fever and just
feeling terrible, but I had no current doctor. My doctor’s
office had just suddenly closed down their practice, and
knowing from all my symptoms that I probably had a sinus
infection, I did not want to pay the higher fee to go to an
urgent care facility. I had forgotten that I had AmeriPlanMD
Plus with my AmeriPlan membership until someone
reminded me… so this was great. As it turned out I wouldn’t
have to go anywhere for treatment. I called AmeriPlanMD
Plus , and since it was my first time using it, there were
several minutes of questioning to complete my profile, but
once that was done, I was informed a physician would call
me back within 2 hours. It was no longer than that when the
doctor did call, and I was very impressed with his
professional manner and the questions he asked to
diagnose my ailment. I was also impressed that in addition
to an antibiotic, he also prescribed an additional medicine
that he said would work cohesively with the antibiotic to
hasten a recovery. I have sinus infections frequently, and no
other doctor has ever mentioned taking the other medication
that the AmeriPlanMD Plus doctor prescribed. And above
all, he made me feel very at ease and stressed that I should
not hesitate to call him back if I wasn’t better soon.
AmeriPlanMD Plus is SO convenient and is a fantastic way
to talk to a doctor and get treated!

I was paying $119 for my prescriptions. With AmeriPlan, I

We have been using our Ameriplan prescription benefit a lot
lately and have been saving a lot! My husband received a
prescription from our Dr. that he takes on a monthly basis.
We were so pleased when we gave the script to our
pharmacist and she said this will be $120.00 but with your
discount thru AmeriPlanMD Plus you will only be paying
$44.00! A savings of $76 a month. Thank You Ameriplan!!
My daughter went to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned
which only was $47.00. She was REALLY smiling big after
that!!
Tammy R., Royal Oak, MI
This past Christmas I gave my three adult grandchildren
dental checkups. They had no dental plans and had not
been to a dentist in some time. The AmeriPlan program
saved me $134 on Sarah’s services and $370 for Tommy, a
total savings of $504. Having been on corporate dental
plans for years, I had no idea what a benefit AmeriPlan
could be to my family. I was surprised and delighted at the
savings. L.Royals - Carrollton, Tx

I was between doctors from when I had insurance to a
transfer to medicare. My doctor would not take medicare.
Called in to AmeriDoc, told the very helpful lady what I
needed. She was pleasant and very professional. The doctor
called me back within half an hour. Gave her the facts, my
blood pressure readings, what meds I took. She called in a
90 day supply to Walgreens. Picked them up and saved
$238.00 from retail. Way to go AmeriDoc. I used Ameriplan
to call in the Rx. I used Ameriplan to get 1 of the meds (was
cheaper than medicare) Used Medicare for the other. Total
out-of-pocket cost $56.00. A case where Ameriplan was
used along with my medicare. The AmeriDoc is awesome...
