DISCOUNT MEDICAL BENEFITS ARE
NOT INSURANCE: This membership includes a discount medical

services by offering reduced rates through medical and health networks. The
discount medical benefits are not insurance, nor should it be used in lieu of

contain certain limited supplemental group coverage benefits. Members are
responsible for payment in full at the time that medical or other services are
provided by benefit providers. The AMACORE GROUP, INC., the Association (if
applicable), the Administrator, their affiliates, agents, and sales
representatives are not responsible for payment of any kind on behalf of
members. The benefit providers and Administrators have no liability for
providing or guaranteeing service or the quality of service rendered.
DISCOUNTS: This
program makes it possible for members to receive reduced rates on various
products and services through participating providers. Discounts received
cannot be used in conjunction with any other kind of rate reduction mechanisms.
Discounts are based on the provider's standard fees. Actual discounts will vary
depending on the place and the specific services or products purchased. From
time to time, certain providers may offer products or services to the general
public at prices lower than the discounted prices available through this
program. In such event, members will be charged the lowest price.
PROVIDERS: It is
the member's responsibility to confirm with Member Services that a provider is
an active participant of the program prior to seeing that provider. The

service providers included in membership benefits without prior written notice

if the services were initiated prior to the member's activation of this
membership.
