S.C. Co-ops help members save millions

Co-op ConnectionsEight years after its introduction, Touchstone Energy’s Co-op Connections card remains a valuable benefit for S.C. cooperative members. Four co-ops in the state are national leaders in the program. Since 2007, Berkeley Electric members saved more than $3 million on prescription drugs—the highest number of any co-op in the country. Right behind at number two is Blue Ridge Electric. Blue Ridge members saved more than $2.8 million over the past eight years. Fourth on the list is Palmetto Electric whose members saved more than $2 million. And, York Electric began offering the program in May of 2009 and is currently ranked 19th with members saving $902,462 as of Dec. 31, 2014.

In 2014, discounts on prescription drugs reached an all-time high of 45 percent. Nationwide since 2007, Co-op Connections cardholders saved more than $82 million on prescription drug purchases. Connecting members to discounts has never been easier. The Co-op Connections mobile app provides a link to deals on everything from rental cars to dining. Last year, the Connections.coop website received more than 1.3 million page views. Close to 500 electric cooperatives across America participate in the Co-op Connections Card program—one of the strongest ways co-ops can display the cooperative difference.

Saving Money is as Easy as Showing a Card!

The Value of Co-op Connections®: We were local before local was cool.

Whether you travel across the country or prefer to stay close to your hometown, one thing you may notice is the emphasis on “Buy Local” campaigns. This is based on one simple fact: It’s important to support businesses that support our community. That’s what York Electric, a locally owned and controlled cooperative, has been about for 74 years.

The Small Business Administration and the research firm Civic Economics estimated that dollars spent at a locally owned business stay in the community three times longer than money spent at “Big Box” stores, headquartered far from your hometown. This means your community wealth is more likely to grow by shopping locally.

Our Co-op Connections program allows York Electric and other Touchstone Energy® co-ops to help local members and local, participating businesses that offer discounts to members. Members save on products and services; the local business gains a vital “co-op connection” with potential customers — our members.

Download the listing of our local participating businesses and visit our online directory to see the discounts available to you. Thank you for supporting local businesses — and your local Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

Healthy savings: attractive smiles

New practice in Indian Land will have YEC members beaming, too.

Carolina Smile Dentistry LLC – the name has a special meaning to Dr. Anjali Seth, DDS.

Co-op Connections CardA native Indo-Canadian, she notes, “We love the word ‘smile.'” In fact, Dr. Seth says, everyone’s favorite facial expression influenced the name she chose for her first daughter. “That’s what Muskaan’s name means in my language, Hindi.”

Their second daughter’s name, Kashish, means “attraction,” she adds. Appropriately, their mother is all about helping patients sport attractive smiles at her new practice in Indian Land.

The girls played a role in their mother’s decision to open her own practice, says Dr. Seth, a dentist for 11 years. She and her husband, Ajay, started their family when they lived in Toronto, Canada. Ajay came to the Charlotte area to work for Time Warner Cable eight years ago. Dr. Seth and the girls followed two years later.

While raising Muskaan, now 13, and Kashish, 9, she worked as an associate dentist at the Union County, N.C., health department. “The kids were little. Now they’ve grown up a little bit – one is in fourth grade, one is in seventh – so I think it’s time for me to take care of the patients now,” says Dr. Seth, beaming with understandable pride.

Her sparkling new office at 8390 Charlotte Hwy., across from Indian Land High School, opened in early August. She and Ajay, who has helped with marketing, have invested in state-of-the-art equipment – delivered with a warm, personal touch aimed at making a trip to the dentist as close to pleasant as possible.

“This is a general dentistry practice, where we do everything like a root canal, crowns, bridges, fillings, dentures and extractions,” Dr. Seth says. “We see kids one year and up – all the way up to 99!”

York Electric Cooperative members will smile, too, when they visit Dr. Seth – because their Co-op Connections card entitles them to Healthy Savings Discounts. That’s because Carolina Smile Dentistry is part of the Humana Dental Access network, one of the health-care provider networks involved in the Healthy Savings Discounts part of the Co-op Connections program.

“Our clinic is enrolled with Humana and would be happy to have your members as patients,” Dr. Seth says, adding, “Being new, you don’t have to wait long for appointment times.” Now, there’s something to smile about!

Prescription savings keep growing

York Electric Co-op Connections Healthy SavingsYork Electric members have now saved almost $683,000 on prescriptions using YEC’s membership benefit card, Co-op Connections, since we introduced the member benefit program in May 2009.

But prescription discounts are just one example of the Healthy Savings Discounts part of Co-op Connections program. You can also save on vision care, dental, hearing aids, lab work, imaging and chiropractor visits at participating providers.

The Co-op Connections cards distributed in South Carolina Living in spring 2012 and again earlier this year include special logos and codes on the back that enable members to obtain these Healthy Savings Discounts through provider networks such as Humana Dental Access, Coast to Coast Vision and others.

Don’t make another appointment for health care services until you’ve seen how the Co-op Connections program’s Healthy Savings Discounts can help you!

Healthy savings, indeed

South Carolina co-op members chalk up record prescription discounts.

Co-op Connections$2.8 MILLION—that’s how much members of South Carolina’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives saved on prescriptions in 2012 using their Co-op Connections cards. It was another record year for member savings with the discount card. Total savings hit $2,823,086.10, beating the 2011 tally by about $400,000. Total savings since the program began in South Carolina in 2007 now stands at $9,395,335.20, according to Touchstone Energy, the nationwide electric co-op alliance that administers the Co-op Connections program. Locally, York Electric members have saved $624,830 since the co-op introduced the program in May 2009. Our members saved $167,165 in 2012 and, already this year, have reduced their prescription costs by another $62,334.

Don’t forget your other Healthy Savings Discounts!
