  1. Avoid The ER- The average cost of a visit to the ER was $2,168. Instead, make a same-day appointment with your doctor or find an urgent care center
  2. Find A Fair Price- Healthcare Blue Book can get the average price for a certain procedure in your area and use it to find an affordable provider
  3. Join A Discount Health Plan- They can complement your coverage and save money on services typically missing from most insurance plans
  4. Check Your Bills- The Medical Billing Advocates of America estimates that eight out of 10 medical bills contain errors
  5. Go Early And Don't Stay Late- An overnight stay at a hospital adds a significant amount of costs to your medical expense
  6. Compare Rx Prices- Speak with your pharmacist to see if there are any duplications or recommendations for generic medications
  7. Visit a Retail Clinic- Serious but not life-threatening conditions that linger, like a sore throat or a rash, may be treated at a medical clinic
