Galaxy Physician Network & Galaxy Hospital Network

 

Without health insurance or with a high deductible policy, most individuals are forced to pay full price when they go to the doctor’s office.  Including the uninsured and underinsured this number could be as high as 50 million Americans.  Adding to that number is the fact that insurance premiums continue to rise and more employers are cutting back on the benefits they offer in their health plans.  One of the most expensive benefits is the coverage at the doctor’s office.  Now the growing sector of consumers affected by this trend, who are forced to pay in full for every doctor’s visit, can save an average of 30%.  The Galaxy Medical Savings Network discount card is valid at all participating network provider locations.  This includes a network of over 277,000 providers from which to choose. 

 

The services offered include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Primary Care Physicians

  • Specialists

  • OB/GYN

  • Chiropractors

  • Labs/Clinics

  • Radiology

  • Alternative Care

  • Vision

  • Pediatrics

  • Hospitals

Members should call the toll free number on their cards to make sure that a provider is in the network before making an appointment.
