Careington Offers My County Cares Program to Counties Across the U.S.

    FRISCO, TX, January 29, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Careington International Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its new county discount program available to counties across the nation: My County Cares.

My County Cares will give county residents access to three different consumer savings plans, and counties are free to choose which plans they would like to offer. Currently, the My County Cares Dental Plan gives county residents access to savings on routine, preventive and specialty dental treatment, such as exams, cleanings, X-rays, dentures, root canals, crowns and more. With this plan, members can even save money on cosmetic dental services including braces and teeth whitening. Two more programs will be available soon - a free discount pharmacy card, including a proprietary, real-time online search tool for pricing and locations, and the One Card for a small membership fee.

The My County Cares The One Card includes savings on dental, vision, pharmacy, LASIK, hearing aids, screenings, lab services, imaging services, vitamins and supplements, pet medications, diabetic supplies and 24-hour access to board-certified doctors via phone and video. Program members can call a doctor whenever they need with no limit on use, and in some cases may get a prescription for many non-emergency situations. There is no consult fee to use this service in the program.

"Careington is proud to launch the My County Cares program to counties and county residents across the nation," said Chuck Misasi, Careington's Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "We believe this valuable consumer savings program is a timely and sensible way to help counties offer their residents and employers access to more affordable care, improved access to local and national providers, and significant savings on much-needed services like dental treatment, vision care, prescription savings and more. We look forward to rolling out this program to counties across the nation and to ensuring their residents have the best possible health and wellness savings experience."

Otero County in New Mexico was the first county to sign on with My County Cares. Several more counties in other states have indicated their participation is imminent in early 2015.
