Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Sometimes, even those best-laid plans are derailed by unexpected emergencies—and unexpected expenses. But that doesn’t mean they have to derail your finances too. The best way to protect yourself, your family, your Paints and, yes, even your bank account, is to be prepared. That’s why we created our unique APHA Xtras discount program just for you—so you can bounce back quickly from whatever life throws your way and get back to the barn as soon as possible. Here are four easy ways to protect yourself and save money at the same time.
- Protect your health.
Whoever came up with the saying “healthy as a horse” clearly has not seen your vet bills, right? The vet’s on speed dial, but you can come up with a slew of reasons—too much time, money and hassle—to skip routine health screenings for yourself. With APHA Xtras partner Life Line Screening, you’ve got no more excuses.
In a little more than an hour, you can get a health assessment and get back to what you love best: your Paints. Life Line Screening offers painless, non-invasive screening of risk factors for aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, atrial fibrillation and other chronic diseases that may lead to an increased risk for stroke, heart attack or other disability.
Their staff of healthcare professionals use the latest technology to provide hospital-quality preventive screenings. Board-certified physicians carefully review your results. Then you and your doctor will have the information you need to work together toward improving your health.
APHA members can opt for this baseline package with four screenings for only $135:
- Stroke Warning Signs, Symptoms, Risk Factors and Prevention
- Atrial Fibrillation Screening
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening
Or pick another health screening package that’s right for you. To find a screening location convenient to you, call (800) 323-8053 or schedule your screening online. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Take advantage of the discounts available to APHA members to find out your current health status today.
- Protect your pets.
Because veterinary bills can add up quickly, pet insurance is a great way to save money while keeping our faithful companions healthy and happy. And because we all want to keep more money in our wallets, one of the many perks included with your APHA membership is a 5% discount with Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI).
VPI is America’s number one choice for pet insurance, offering affordable pet health coverage ranging from preventative care to significant medical incidents. As a member of the APHA, you’re eligible to receive a five percent discount—or more for multiple pets—on your pet’s health care plan.
Pet insurance is easy to get started and easy to use. Visit VPI Pet Insurance online or call (877) 738-7874 to get a quote today. Don’t forget to mention your APHA membership to receive your five percent savings!
