Stretch Your Healthcare Dollars
Healthcare can be expensive. Here are some ways to cut costs
The first way you can get the most out of your healthcare dollar is by staying healthy.
Preventive care, like checkups and vaccines, are free when you go to a doctor in your plan’s network — even if you haven’t met your deductible yet.
Still, there will be times when you need care. When you do, use your plan’s network providers whenever you can. While some plans will cover part of your costs when you go outside the network, you’ll always pay more when you do.
When you get a new prescription, always ask if there’s a generic version available. Generics work as well as name brands, but they cost a lot less.
Now, put these tips to use. Use them to make choices that improve your health and keep more money in your wallet! And if you’ve got questions about your benefits, contact the HR Department.
