Rule 6: Don’t Forget the Extras
Before you finalize your health plan decisions take the time to inquire about the extra benefits that may be available. Supplemental benefits may include dental expenses, vision care, Medicare supplemental insurance, alternative medicine and other health-related expenses not covered by your health insurance.
To be adequately insured you need to assess your medical priorities. Do you think you might need extra care? If there is a particular expense you are concerned about, make sure to ask about it.
Understanding the benefits you will receive with your new policy will not only help you determine what, if any supplemental products you need, but will also help you take full advantage of the benefits to which you are entitled. Find out if you are eligible for a discount on fitness club membership, glasses or physical therapy for example, and then be sure to use it!
