Everyone wants to save money on health care expenses. While the cost of health insurance continues to increase, consumers can work to take control of how much they are spending each month on some health care costs.
Here are a few quick things that consumers can do to immediately cut their out-of-pocket expenses:
1. Ask for generic medications over brand-name.
2. Get a flu shot at work or at a pharmacy to avoid a copayment at the doctor’s office.
3. For monthly medications, find out if the health insurance company uses mail-order prescriptions. Mail-order services are generally less expensive than a retail pharmacy.
4. Compare prescriptions costs between local pharmacies.
5. Check to see if a current health insurer offers reimbursements for gym memberships or wellness classes.
