AEA Accident and Long Term Care Insurance

Two needs that can never be foreseen are accident insurance and long term care insurance. With these two types of insurance, no matter what happens, you and your family can be protected. AEA works hard to secure coverage with great discounts for you and your family. For example, with long-term care insurance, there are discounts for all immediate family members as well as in-laws, and also payroll deduction. Accident insurance pays for hospital visits, intensive care, and accidental death, so your family will not be left with financial hardships. Long term care covers things such as 24/7 assistance for extended periods of time which includes eating, walking, bathing, and dressing. Both of these types of insurance can be deducted straight from your payroll so you do not have to worry about paying the bills on time to make sure that care will be provided tomorrow. Call Collateral Benefits, who works with AEA in providing these services, at 1-866-322-2244 or email info@servingeducators.com to learn more and sign up before it’s too late.

Save money on vision exams and glasses with AEA VisionChoice

At some point in your life, you get an eye exam to see if you need glasses or if you need to upgrade your glasses. Eye exams can be expensive and glasses can be even more expensive. How do you make room in your budget for these important items? With your AEA membership you are given the opportunity to get an eye care plan that saves you hundreds of dollars. VisionChoice is an eye care savings program that supplements your insurance, but is not an insurance plan. You save anywhere from 30%-100% of the costs of your eye exam, and it is all a flat rate. For example, a comprehensive exam with VisionChoice goes from $85 to $54- a 36% discount! If you find out you need glasses, VisionChoice offers different types of frames and lenses for much cheaper than the retail price. VisionChoice also offers discounted laser corrective surgery. There are family and single plans, and you have unlimited use on the plans because these plans are FREE—all you need to do is set them up! Again, this is not an insurance plan, but a discount plan in which many optical offices in Alabama participate. There is a list here on the AEA benefits website: http://v5.collateralbenefits.com/thebenefitcenter/default.aspx?id=327
Take advantage of the opportunity to save money on what could become a costly trip to the optometrist!
