Discount Arrangements. From time to time, HMO may offer, provide, or arrange for discount arrangements or special rates from certain service Providers such as pharmacies, optometrists, dentist, alternative medicine, wellness and healthy living providers to Members or persons who become Members. Some of these arrangements may be available through third parties who may make payments to HMO in exchange for making these services available. The third party service Providers are independent contractors and are solely responsible to Members for the provision of any such goods and/or services. HMO reserves the right to modify or discontinue such arrangements at any time. These discount arrangements do not constitute benefits provided under the Group Agreement. There are no benefits payable to Members nor does HMO compensate Providers for services they may render.
Discount Arrangements. 8.1 The Brand Activation Grids specifically disclosed in the Disclosure Letter do not materially misstate the planned advertising and promotional activity in respect of the Business during the calendar year 2012.

Discount Arrangements. We can offer you discounts on health care related goods or services. Sometimes, other companies provide these discounted goods and services. These companies are called “third party service providers”. These third party service providers may pay us so that they can offer you their services. Third party service providers are independent contractors. The third party service provider is responsible for the goods or services they deliver. We are not responsible; but we have the right to change or end the arrangements at any time. These discount arrangements are not insurance. We don’t pay the third party service providers for the services they offer. You are responsible for paying for the discounted goods or services.
