Are you getting the most out of your health insurance plan?
Have you missed some of the extra benefits included in your plan? Most people receive their health insurance policies and file them away in a drawer without reading them. They then fail to take advantage of the plan’s additional discounts and worse, fail to take required steps that leave them paying additional expenses that could have been avoided.
It is very beneficial to sign into your carrier’s web-site as a member; the first time, click on “register now” under the member log in. Keep your password and login and use it often! Take a moment to discover all the health programs and member support available to you on the web site. It’s easy to register; once registered you can do provider searches, download your plan benefits, check claims and much more; the valuable information you’ll find online can help you make informed healthcare decisions.
All carriers have discounts for various health related programs: discounts for vision and hearing services, acupuncture and chiropractic services, and even discounts to health clubs. There are also nutrition, wellness, preventive care and exercise tips for most member web-sites. These extras are available free of charge to registered members.
