Expanded Discounts on Health-Related Products and Services
Many Discounts Raised from 20% up to 30%!
More Healthy Alternatives Providers To Choose From!
For many people, good health means more than a regular doctor’s exam. It means actively seeking out a wide range of sources to enhance their well being—from alternative therapies and nutritional supplements to weight management programs and fitness centers. If this describes your outlook, you’ll value and enjoy all the discounts you can receive through Healthy Alternatives.
Discounts for all Healthy Alternatives products and services are up to 30% of the provider’s usual and customary fee. (This is the fee that an individual provider most frequently charges for the specific product or service.)
American WholeHealth Participating Providers
To receive discounts on the following services, you must use an American WholeHealth provider from the Healthy Alternatives Provider List. American WholeHealth administers the Healthy Alternatives provider network for ConnectiCare members. To contact American WholeHealth, call toll-free 1-877-243-2998.
Fitness Centers
Exercise is easier when it’s convenient. That’s why, with American WholeHealth’s extensive network of participating fitness centers, you can find locations throughout New England and across the country—an added convenience if you’re traveling for business or pleasure. Pick any participating facility you want and check it out. If you choose to sign up, present your ConnectiCare ID card and receive a discounted rate for yourself and covered family members. (Special restrictions apply so check with the fitness center.)
Exercise/Movement/Fitness (including Yoga, Pilates, Qi Gong and Tai Chi)
Led by an experienced instructor, you can relieve stress and feel great by moving your body through a gentle series of exercises that increase flexibility and strength. Studies show that Yoga, Pilates, Qi Gong and Tai Chi may have certain healing qualities, besides their contribution to overall wellness and good health. Please consult with your doctor before starting an exercise/movement/fitness program to discuss how it might meet your health needs. To receive the discount from a participating American WholeHealth provider, present your ConnectiCare ID card at the exercise facility.
Massage/Body Work
Who hasn’t felt the need for a good massage every now and then? A licensed massage therapist can skillfully manipulate your body to help improve blood flow and even stimulate natural painkillers. Even people who exercise regularly need to give their bodies a break, and massage/body work is an excellent way to help recover from the muscle-tightening effects of stress. To receive the discount from a participating American WholeHealth provider, present your ConnectiCare ID card at your appointment.
Relaxation/Mind-Body Techniques
The power of the mind has been shown to influence the body in many ways. Relaxation and Mind-Body Techniques are two forms of holistic activities that may complement your overall health and wellness program. Through the visualization central to these programs many individuals find comfort and relief in dealing with specific health concerns. As always consult your doctor to see if these services might be beneficial for you. To receive the discount from a participating American WholeHealth provider, present your ConnectiCare ID card at your appointment.
Nutritional Counseling
With your full schedule, finding the time to eat a well balanced diet can be a challenge. A trained nutritional expert can help you identify ways to modify your diet, and offer nutritional support for general health and well being. To receive the discount on nutritional counseling from a participating American WholeHealth provider, just present your ConnectiCare ID card at your appointment.
Please note: Your ConnectiCare health plan also provides limited coverage for nutritional counseling services (two visits per member, per calendar year). However, the nutritional counseling services must be for illnesses requiring therapeutic dietary monitoring, and must be rendered by a dietician in a physician’s office in order to be covered
Spa Services
Members are offered a variety of spa services at discounted rates through participating American WholeHealth locations. For more information, and to arrange a complement of services of interest to you, call the participating spa directly.
Acupuncture
A centuries-old Chinese healing method, acupuncture is used to treat disorders like migraines, muscle spasms, asthma, arthritis and certain skin diseases. Very fine, sterile needles are inserted into zones throughout the body called “meridians,” triggering your brain to respond with its own natural therapy. To receive the discount from a participating American WholeHealth provider, present your ConnectiCare ID card at your appointment.

LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Laser vision correction is an FDA-approved procedure used by ophthalmologists to treat nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism. Using a laser, the procedure permanently changes the shape of the cornea
and has shown positive results for many individuals over the past several years. ConnectiCare members are
eligible to receive a discount of up to 25% of the provider’s usual and customary fees or up to 5% off
any advertised special at all providers affiliated with Davis LASIK. (Check with your provider to confirm
the discount prior to your appointment.) To find the nearest Davis Vision LASIK provider, call 1-800-584-2866
or go to www.davisvision.com
and choose "Laser Vision Correction." Check with your doctor to determine if LASIK may be right for you.
Please note that LASIK eye surgery is not a covered benefit under your ConnectiCare plan. Davis Vision LASIK
providers may not be ConnectiCare participating providers, and ConnectiCare does not credential Davis Vision
