Whether it’s free shipping or a great coupon, everyone likes to save money. You may not think of medical bills as an expense you can save on, but most Independence Blue Cross (Independence) members can save up to 13% on medical care costs through AblePay Health (AblePay).
With AblePay, you can save money on out-of-pocket medical costs, including copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. Our members can use AblePay at no cost as part of their Independence health plan.
Choose the Payment Plan That Works for You
How much you save with AblePay is determined by the payment method and terms you select. You’ll see the biggest savings when you pay your bill in one payment through your bank account (checking, savings, or health savings account (HSA)*). You can also pay with a credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card. All payment plan options offer 0% interest.
Here are all the payment options and discounts available:
# of payments | Savings for paying with your bank ACH | Savings for paying with a card |
1 payments | 13% off | 10% off |
3 payments | 10% off | 7% off |
6 payments | 8% off | 5% off |
12 payments | No savings, 0% interest | |
All payment plan options offer 0% interest. ACH payments are electronic payments that go through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network. Paying through your bank account includes checking and savings accounts and HSAs.* |
Even though there is not a cost-savings with the 12-payment option, you’ll still have an interest-free payment plan for larger medical bills. Plus, AblePay will prorate the balance if you decide to pay it off early, so you can save money!
