Tips to maximize your savings
Optimize your elected FSA amount
If you aren’t contributing at least the amount you spend on health care, you are essentially leaving money on the table for the government.
Generic prescriptions
Generic prescriptions typically cost 30 - 80% less than their brand equivalent. We encourage you to consult your provider about generic prescription options. Your insurance plan may offer a prescription pricing tool for comparisons.
Urgent care vs. emergency room
A visit to the emergency room can cost three to seven times more than a visit to an urgent care facility that can provide the same treatment. You should consider only going to the emergency room in a potentially life threatening situation. Furthermore, an appointment made with your primary physician will be typically less expensive than a visit to the urgent care.
