- Plan: Budget for health care expenses that can be anticipated (eyeglasses, braces, and so on).
- Prepare: For example, know the location of the nearest urgent care center (if you have children, you probably already know!).
- Prevent: Take advantage of preventative services offered by your health care company, and get your annual checkup.
My family is good at the planning and preparing, but we've not taken advantage of free helplines. I just never think of it when I have a question.
In addition to the checklist, Cigna has put together a series of videos to help people think through their health care choices. Here's the first video in the series:
You can see the rest of the videos in the series here.
What about you? Are you comparing health care plans this year? Do you dread the process, or do you enjoy it as a positive step toward better health?
Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Cigna. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I dread the process. We haven't changed in years but we have had to increase our deductible till we could AFFORD to have coverage in the case of a "major" event. NO Dr. Visits, no meds, etc. till after $2500 each. And then it's still limited. We usually don't get close to $2500 because we just go once a year for the "free physical" and get our meds renewed for another year. I buy my meds from overseas at 1/4 the cost.
