HEALTHCARE COSTS Can Drain You Use these tips to keep more money in your pocket. Health care costs can be one of the greatest strains on our budgets. Because health insurance is too important to go without, we need to find ways to make the most of the benefits, while managing how much money we spend when we use them. Here are five ways you can save money without sacrificing health care coverage. Before you enroll in your benefits, think about how you've used your benefits in the past. Are you adding new dependents this year? Do you have a surgery or other procedure planned? Were you recently diagnosed with a chronic illness? Think about anything that could affect the plan or coverage level you choose, and make sure your benefits reflect any changes that have occurred in your life. Remember, you can only change your benefits during the year if you have a life event such as a marriage, divorce or birth of a child. Actively manage your prescription drug expenses. If an over-the-counter medication is available, use it! And if your doctor prescribes you a brand-name drug, ask for a generic instead. If a generic is not available, ask for a brand-name drug that is on your formulary or preferred list (if available). When your doctor's office is closed and you need care, go to an urgent care clinic. Urgent care clinics are a great alternative when you need care but your doctor's office is closed. Urgent care clinics are usually cheaper than the Emergency Room (ER) plus, the ER should only be used in a true emergency. If you go to the ER in a non-emergency situation, you may have to wait a long time and you could be using resources that are needed for a true emergency. Stay in the network. Think of it like an exclusive club. When you use doctors and hospitals that are in your plan's network, you will pay less. Providers are only invited to the network if they meet certain quality standards, and they've agreed to charge lower rates to members. Take advantage of preventive care benefits, like annual physicals! Preventive care and health screenings are typically free when you use a network doctor. Even if you don't make it to the doctor but once a year, try to use the same doctor. When you get an annual physical, your doctor can compare your results from previous years to see if anything has changed, or to look for trends that could mean you're at risk for a disease or illness. Taking preventive action can help delay or prevent the onset of disease and gives you and your doctor the chance to FLEX YOUR DOLLARS Flexible Spending Accounts Help You Pay Less, Get More Would you like to spend 30% - 40% less on all of your health care expenses? As you prepare to enroll, you may be thinking you can't afford another deduction from your paycheck. Take a closer look Flexible Spending Accounts may be a deduction you can't afford to miss! Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) sometimes called Reimbursement Accounts allow you to contribute a percentage of your paycheck to a special account before taxes are applied to your pay. Then, you use this un-taxed money to reimburse yourself for eligible expenses. There are two types: a Health Care FSA for health-related expenses, and a Dependent Care FSA for day care expenses that you incur while you're at work. Here, we focus on Health Care FSAs. How does it work? The Health Care FSA can bridge the gap between what your health plans pay and what you pay by applying your pre-tax contributions to eligible expenses. Your savings equal the amount of money you would have paid in taxes (usually 30% - 40% depending on your tax bracket). Keep in mind: You must use all the money you contribute to an FSA during the plan year for which you made the contribution. Money left in your account after the claim deadline will be forfeited you don't get it back, and it doesn't roll over. This is an IRS rule, often called the "use it or lose it" feature. This simply means you should carefully consider how much you contribute. Be sure you contribute enough to get the benefit, but do not contribute so much that you have a significant amount of money left over. An easy way to estimate the right amount is to review your family's medical, vision and dental bills from this year...and use the questions in the Benefit Overview to help you consider what expenses you may have for next year. What expenses are eligible? You can use your Health Care FSA to pay for health-related expenses like office visit copays, glasses and contacts (not covered by your vision plan), contact lens solution, hearing aids, chiropractic visits, and more! Go to www.irs.gov and search for Publication 502 for a complete list. How much is enough? 5
