Discount cards are often scams because doctors do not reprice - nor are they are they required to unless under contract.
The "con" is these discount sites will display a network logo - say PHCS. Of course, the prospect runs a search and wow...they're doctor takes the plan.
However, here's the rub. The discount card companies often do not have a contract with the network that forces providers to reprice.
So unknowing clients buy the discount card, see a PHCS or "Beech Street" doctor and nothing gets repriced.
By the way, pay careful attention to any company affiliated with Beech Street - a scam warning
