Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. How much do my member discounts cost? A. These discounts are provided at no additional cost as a part of your Royal

Neighbors of America membership.

Q. I’ve lost my card. How can I get a replacement? A. Contact Royal Neighbors of America at (800) 627-4762.

Q. Can I use my member discounts with my current insurance benefit to reduce my costs?

A. Your card cannot be used in conjunction with insurance. However, you can use your card to purchase prescriptions and other services that are not covered by your insurance plans, at a discounted rate.

Q. Can I go to a provider that is not in the network? A. No. You will only receive a discount by going to a provider in the network.

Q. There is no provider close to my home. What do I do? A. While some Zip code areas may have a limited number of providers, there

are usually providers within a 50-mile radius of your Zip code. You may also nominate a provider near you by visiting www.royalneighbors.org/benefits.

Q. Can my family members use the discount card? A. Yes. Everyone currently living in your household is eligible for discounts with

the plan.

Q. How does the dental and vision plan work? A. Members may visit an in-network provider and receive a discount off the

provider’s normal fees. The member pays out-of-pocket at the reduced rate.

Q. What doctors can I go to for the dental and vision program? A. You can review the list of participating providers in your area by using the

provider search at www.royalneighbors.org/benefits under the Health & Wellness Discounts tab or call (800) 655-4074. Please call to verify participation of doctors before you schedule an appointment.

Q. Can I use the dental plan even if I already have insurance? A. Yes, as long as your dental insurance plan isn’t a PPO, HMO, or another discount

plan. Just go to a provider on the plan, show your card, pay the discounted fees, and ask for a copy of your bill. Then, file the claim with your insurance company to be reimbursed by them. This reduces your out-of-pocket expenses and stretches your dollar so you reach your maximums more slowly.
