It’s amazing how much money you can save on health care once you start to think about it. One thing I notice is that many people spend more money on their health care than they should because they don’t take the time to review their health care plan documents. Here are some suggestions:
- Understand our health benefit plan. Read the fine print, or log on to the health insurance company’s Web site. Know what is covered and what is not, and learn about any available wellness programs that can help improve health, reduce overall costs or even provide monetary incentives.
- Use in-network providers. Seeing a doctor outside of the health care plans network costs more than seeing one in-network. Most health plans have thousands of doctors in their networks. A quick visit to the insurance company’s Web site can help avoid a more costly visit to the doctor.
- Review the doctor’s bill. Making sure we have been billed correctly after an office visit or procedure is a simple routine that can save money and reduce stress.
