No. A discount program offers specified prices through participating providers. It does not pay covered claims like an insurance policy.
Confirm what you are purchasing, which providers participate, and what you would pay. insurance.ca.gov
You may have dental, vision, or hearing benefits through an employer, retirement arrangement, Medicare Advantage plan, or another program.
