Frank Lalli: 5 Ways to Net Medical Savings
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 06/16/2014 - 10:29
- Save at the Doctor’s Office- Check if the doctor is “in-network” and has a “current contract” with your insurer—not whether he “takes” your insurance
- Save on Medical Tests- The cost of a simple procedure like a pelvic ultrasound can vary from less than $100 to more than $600, do a price comparison
- Save on Lab Work- Get the test done at an in-network, lower-cost lab or clinic and bring the analysis back to your doctor
- Save on Prescriptions- Always ask your doctor why they are recommending a particular drug, then ask if there’s an effective lower-cost alternative
- Save on a Specialist- None of the Affordable Care Act health exchange plans in New York State, for example, pay a dime for out-of-network specialists
