HOW TO REDUCE YOUR MEDICAL COSTS FOR UNCOVERED SERVICES

We at 21st Century Medicine try to provide you with options to reduce your medical costs on our services that are not yet covered by insurance. 

What are these uncovered services?
1.   Chelation, Basic Infusion, Plaquex.
2.   Vitamin C, Vitamin C w/ Myer’s/Gaby’s, Mega Vitamin C, Mega Vitamin C w/ Myer’s/Gaby’s.
3.   Myer’s/Gaby’s Cocktail, Myer’s/Gaby’s Cocktail w/ Minerals.
4.   Lipostabil, Glutathione, Mistletoe.
5.   Prolotherapy and Ion Cleanse Foot Bath. (For more information, ask about these two discounted services.)

What are the types of discounts available at 21st Century Medicine on these uncovered services?
1.   Volume Discount:  We reduce your price successively more, by 2% each time, for the first 10 I.V.
      treatments you receive.
2.   Prepayment Discount:  We give you a free seventh I.V. when you prepay for six. 

Note:  These discounts can be combined. 

What is an example of a Volume Discount?
You pay $105 for your first 1 1/2 hour Chelation, $103 for your second, $101 for your third, $93 for your seventh, and $84 for every Chelation after your tenth. You pay even less if a Prepayment Discount applies. 

Note:  We only offer pre-payment discounts, not volume discounts, on high dose Vitamin C I.V.’s. 

Why are we offering these discounts?
Many people who would benefit greatly from our uncovered services believe they cannot afford them. These discounts provide a way to appreciably reduce the cost of these services, providing incentives for you to utilize our treatments so you can realize maximum improvement in your health. This reduces our staff time in processing services, leading to savings we pass on to you. We want to acknowledge your commitment as a partner in your health. 

At 21st Century Medicine, we use an integrative approach to medicine that combines the best of traditional techniques with the best of nutritional, orthomolecular, and/or preventive techniques. Health insurance and Medicare cover most of traditional medicine, while they currently do not cover most of nutritional, orthomolecular and preventive medicine. This means that many innovative, safe and effective treatments are “uncovered services.” We want to acknowledge and match your financial commitment the best we can. 

What is currently happening with Medicare and health insurance?
The “hue and cry” for universal medical care (i.e., socialized medicine) has been iterated and reiterated for over half a century. One of our trusted actuaries assures us that 2/3 of every healthcare dollar under managed care in this country goes to those who regulate it. Only 1/3 of each dollar goes for the actual medical care, which the Medicare or insurance manager then decides whether an individual should have or not. Thus, medical care is determined too much by the whim of politics and too little by the effectiveness and safety of a particular modality of treatment. In the case of Medicare, the government takes taxpayers’ money to render universal Medicare to people who are at least 65 years of age, and again the regulators decide which treatments are covered or not. Medicare does not pay for many integrative and natural treatments.

Why do we believe in our discount service methods?
A major goal of our discount system is that it enhances the two party economic system where the patient and the doctor make all of the decisions for the mutual benefit of both, but primarily that of the patient. The third party, which is the government or an insurance program, is further bypassed. This represents a considerable restraint on the growing cost of Medicare and health insurance in our country.
