USA HEALTHCARE SAVINGS MEMBER TERMS & CONDITIONS

This Membership Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Protective Marketing Enterprises, Inc. (“PME”) and members (“Members”) of the discount medical program. All Members subscribing to the discount medical program (“Program”) should read the terms of this Agreement carefully and communicate any questions that arise to a PME Member Services Representative available by telephone Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Standard Time at 1-888-411-3888.

The discount medical program is NOT health insurance or a health insurance policy. It is a discount medical plan. The Program provides discounts only at certain health care providers for healthcare services. Member is obligated to pay for all healthcare services but will receive a discount from those health care providers who have contracted with PME. PME does not make payments to providers for medical services. Equal or lower prices may be available through individual negotiations.

1. Description of Program’s Features. Each Member is entitled to receive discounts on specified services and receive other services (collectively, “Services”) when using a participating provider (“Provider”) as set forth in the Membership Guide, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Members are entitled to receive certain Services from Providers at predetermined amounts and certain other Services for a percentage discount off the Provider’s normal retail prices for such Services. Other terms and conditions regarding Services, the Services eligible for discounts, and the discounted fees for the Services included are listed in the Membership Guide and are subject to change, modification, or substitution by PME at any time without notice to the Member. Fees for Services vary by region. In order to receive Services at the discounted rate, a Member must present his/her Membership ID Card to the Provider before Services are rendered. Members must pay the Provider directly at the time of Service unless otherwise agreed upon between Provider and Member. If prompt payment to the Provider is not made and arrangements for payment are not made, the Provider may rescind the discount. The discount features of the Program may not be available for cosmetic procedures.

2. Cancellation and Refund Option. If a Member is not satisfied with the Program and wishes to terminate his/her membership, the Member may cancel the membership for any reason and at any time during the membership period by notifying PME verbally or in writing. Membership in the Program will terminate at the end of the Membership Term following the date on which notice of cancellation is received. Membership fees will cease being collected no later than 30 days after receiving a valid cancellation notice. If the Member cancels his/her membership within the first thirty (30) days after effective date, the Member will be reimbursed for all periodic charges paid. The return of all such periodic charges will be made within thirty (30) days of the cancellation date, and if all such periodic charges have not been reimbursed within thirty (30) days of the cancellation date, interest will be assessed against PME as required by applicable law. If the billing frequency is less than monthly (e.g. annually or semi-annually), the Member will be provided a prorated refund of the Membership Fee paid for any unused portion of the Membership Term remaining after the next monthly anniversary of the Member’s activation. Any cancellation of membership in the Program will not affect any Services or discounts received by a canceling Member before the effective date of the cancellation. IF A MEMBER CANCELS WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, THE MEMBER WILL RECEIVE A FULL REFUND OF THE INITIAL MEMBERSHIP FEES AND PROCESSING FEE.

3. Membership Term. Once the initial fee for membership in the Program (“Membership Fee”) and any enrollment, processing or other fee is paid, a Member will be entitled to all Services for the term (“Membership Term”) the Member selects at the time of activation commencing on the date of PME’s receipt of the activation, so long as Member continues to pay required Membership Fees and otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement. Members may select from membership Terms offered at the time of activation which may include monthly or annual options.

4. Automatic Renewal of Membership Term. At the conclusion of the Membership Term, membership in the Program will be renewed automatically unless the Member notifies PME before the new Membership Term, that he/she wishes to cancel his/her membership in the Program. If the Member either fails to notify PME of his/her election not to continue the Membership and/or fails to return the Membership ID Card(s) as required herein, membership in the Program will be renewed automatically and the Membership Fee for an additional term will be charged against the Member’s credit card or by debit to the Member’s checking account, as applicable. Should a Member have any questions concerning the Program, or the continuation or cancellation of membership, he/she should call a Member Services Representative at the number on his/her Membership ID Card.

5. Complaint Procedure. Any complaint regarding Program membership should be directed to Member Services at the toll-free number on the ID Card or in writing to the address shown in Paragraph 9 below. Each complaint will be acknowledged in writing within 5 business days of its receipt. After PME has investigated the complaint, the Member will receive a letter disclosing the results of that investigation no later than 30 calendar days after PME’s receipt of the complaint. If the Member remains unsatisfied, the Member may contact his or her state’s department of insurance. Note to IL and RI Consumers: PME shall provide contact information for the State Department of Insurance upon request.

6. Membership Payment/Billing. Payment of the initial Membership Fee and any renewal Membership Fee will be made automatically by a charge against the Member’s credit card or by a debit to the Member’s checking account (depending on the payment option authorized by the Member) for the full amount of the Membership Fee for the Membership Term. Members who chose to pay Membership Fees by a direct charge against the Member’s credit card or by a direct debit to the Member’s checking account statement may not receive notice of a subscription payment due; rather, the Member will be notified of the billing in his/her credit card or checking account statement. Each Member hereby gives authorization to bill and receive payment for the Membership Fee as set forth in this Agreement. PME reserves the right to increase the Membership Fee for a future Membership Term, in which case the Member will be notified and the increased Membership Fee will be effective upon renewal of the Program membership. If a Member wishes to confirm whether a Program discount is available for a particular Service, or wishes to confirm the current fee for a particular Service, he/she should call a Member Services Representative at the toll-free number located on the Membership ID Card.
