OKEMOS, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
As healthcare costs rise, Renaissance Life & Health Insurance Company of America
(Renaissance America) is doing more to provide its members with access to
affordable health services by expanding its Renaissance Healthy Savings Card − a
health service discount program used to complement health insurance or provide
discounts on its own. 

The Renaissance Healthy Savings Card will now utilize the Careington network for
dental services, which provides 20 to 50 percent savings on most dental
procedures through the nationwide network of more than 62,000 participating
dentist locations. As an added program, the Renaissance Healthy Savings Card
will now provide members with even more access to health care savings through
Whole Health Network`s chiropractic and alternative medicine services. 

"We are delighted to offer our members access to Careington`s dental network as
well as access to savings on chiropractic and alternative health services in
addition to our discounts on pharmaceutical, vision and hearing services," said
Tonya Draughon, director of national business and product development,
Renaissance America."The Renaissance Healthy Savings Card is an affordable
option for individuals - with or without insurance - to maintain their overall
health through access to savings on the health care services and products they
need most." 

Current Renaissance Healthy Savings Card members receive savings from the
WholeHealth Network at no additional charge for the first year. The savings
includes discounts of 10 to 30 percent on chiropractic and alternative health
therapies available from more than 30,000 practitioners nationwide, as well as
25 percent savings on vitamins and nutritional supplements. These alternative
therapies include diet and nutritional counselors, personal trainers,
acupuncturists, holistic health practitioners, massage therapy and much more. 

"We are thrilled that Renaissance has selected Careington to provide our dental
and wellness products. By adding dental and alternative health discounts to the
Renaissance Healthy Savings Card, individuals now have even more ways to fill in
benefit gaps," said Chuck Misasi, senior vice president of sales and marketing,
Careington. "With these additional health care services, individuals will be
able to further reduce the financial burden of health care expenses." 

Renaissance Healthy Savings Card members will continue to receive
pharmaceutical, vision and hearing services available through Caremark, EyeMed
Vision Care and Beltone, respectively. Membership fees are $80 annually ($7.50 a
month), with savings extended to all household family members. The program is
not available in California, Nevada, Montana or Vermont.
