Rising               healthcare               costs               are               affecting               everyone,               and               the               trend               to               increase               costs               will               likely               continue.

Finding               practical               ways               to               contain               costs               can               be               challenging               but               are               beneficial               in               the               long               run.

BODY               
               It               is               no               secret               that               healthcare               costs               have               skyrocketed.

Co-pays               for               office               visits,               diagnostics               and               medications               are               rising               to               the               point               that               patients               consider               omitting               the               medication               just               to               save               cost.

According               to               Time,               Inc.,               as               many               as               25               million               American               cannot               afford               the               co-pays               and               other               expenses               not               covered               by               their               health               insurance.

This               is               especially               true               for               the               elderly               and               others               who               may               be               on               fixed               incomes.

Having               the               money               to               pay               the               co-pays               and               deductibles               can               be               a               real               sacrifice               for               them.

Others               do               not               carry               any               healthcare               insurance               at               all,               making               this               an               even               more               serious               problem               for               them               when               they               become               ill.
               Many               are               reluctant               to               even               see               a               doctor               just               to               avoid               the               costs.

Unfortunately,               this               has               led               to               untreated               or               poorly               treated               medical               conditions               and               has               increased               hospitalizations.

There               are               many               ways               you               can               help               keep               your               medical               costs               at               a               minimum.

These               will               require               some               effort               on               your               part               but               it               will               be               worth               it               if               you               are               determined               to               lower               the               amount               you               spend               on               healthcare.
               1)               Be               compliant               with               your               medical               regime               
               You               may               have               only               one               medical               condition               or               several               but               don't               make               yourself               sicker               by               not               following               your               doctor's               instructions.

Comply               with               the               advice               the               doctor               have               given               you.

If               medications,               treatments               and               special               diets               are               ordered               you               need               to               adhere               to               what               has               been               prescribed.

In               the               long               run,               being               non-compliant               will               cost               you               more.
               2)               Know               what               your               healthcare               insurance               covers.

It's               important               to               know               what               is               and               is               not               covered               under               your               health               insurance.

Don't               assume               that               everything               is               paid               for.

There               are               many               different               types               of               healthcare               plans               and               the               benefits               they               endorse               are               just               are               varied.

Not               all               medications,               tests               and               services               are               covered               under               all               policies.

When               you               are               billed,               check               the               bill               carefully.

It               may               look               complex               to               you               but               if               charges               are               there               that               you               don't               understand               you               have               a               right               to               call               and               ask               for               an               explanation.

Stay               in               network               if               you               are               referred               to               a               specialist,               as               most               insurances               charge               more               for               out-of-network               physicians.
               3)               Be               inquisitive.

If               the               physician               gives               you               a               new               medication,               ask               what               it               is               for.

Learn               the               names               of               the               drugs               you               are               taking               and               know               what               side               effects               might               be               expected.

Also               ask               about               the               specifics               of               diagnostic               tests.

Be               sure               you               have               a               good               understanding               of               why               the               test               was               ordered.

Ask               the               doctor               if               it's               really               needed               and               whether               some               cheaper               or               alternative               form               of               treatment               could               be               used               instead.
               4)               Save               the               emergency               department               for               true               emergencies.

Many               people               go               the               emergency               room               when               they               shouldn't.

According               to               Best               Medical               Care,               emergency               rooms               are               expensive               and               unsuitable               for               non-emergent               problems.

Up               to               90               percent               of               patients               seen               in               the               emergency               department               are               there               for               conditions               that               could               appropriately               be               cared               for               in               the               doctor's               office,               a               clinic               or               urgent               care               center.

Your               insurance               might               refuse               to               pay               for               non-emergent               trips               to               the               emergency               room               and               leave               you               responsible               for               those               charges.
               5)               Change               your               habits.

It               is               no               secret               that               such               things               as               smoking,               drinking,               overeating,               excessive               sugar               and               salt               in               your               diet               and               lack               of               exercise               can               all               contribute               to               adverse               health               problems.

It               is               your               choice               whether               you               wish               to               continue               with               habits               that               may               shorten               your               life.

Certainly,               when               it               comes               to               the               monetary               end               of               it,               you               will               pay               more               for               the               illnesses               that               result               from               these               habits.

Habits               are               hard               to               break,               but               not               impossible.

Work               on               one               at               a               time               and               determine               to               improve               your               health               by               improving               your               lifestyle.
               6)               Keep               your               health               insurance               current.

As               much               as               possible,               stay               insured.

For               as               expensive               as               co-pays               can               be,               it's               much               more               costly               to               pay               everything               out               of               pocket.

If               changing               jobs               check               how               long               the               waiting               period               will               be               before               your               new               insurance               goes               into               effect               and               consider               continuing               your               insurance               under               the               Consolidated               Omnibus               Budget               Reconciliation               Act               (COBRA).

Although               the               monthly               premium               may               be               high,               you               will               at               least               have               healthcare               coverage               if               you               become               ill.

Many               employers               now               allow               health               insurance               policies               to               become               effective               more               quickly               which               would               help               shorten               the               length               of               time               for               paying               the               COBRA               premiums.

For               more               information               regarding               COBRA,               click               here               for               the               COBRA               FAQ               Sheet.
               7)               Go               generic.

Many               patient               balk               at               taking               generic               drugs               but               these               can               save               you               a               lot               of               money.

According               to               the               Food               and               Drug               Administration               (FDA),               generics               have               to               meet               the               same               standards               as               do               brand               name               drugs.

A               typical               savings,               according               to               an               IMS               Prescription               Audit,               could               be               $6               for               a               generic               as               compared               to               $29               for               the               same               brand               name               drug.
               8)               Look               for               discounts               for               your               drugs.

If               you               take               certain               medications               on               a               regular               basis               you               can               request               that               your               doctor               write               you               a               prescription               for               a               3-month               supply               of               medication.

This               is               cheaper               than               the               typical               monthly               refill.

Another               advantage               of               the               3-month               refill               is               that               you               only               have               to               pay               the               co-pay               once               instead               of               three               times.


               Some               people               also               save               money               by               ordering               their               medications               online               or               by               using               a               mail               order               service.

This               saves               time               on               going               to               back               and               forth               to               the               drugstore               each               month.
               9)               Use               home               remedies               as               much               as               possible.

Read               up               on               things               you               can               do               for               yourself               that               would               be               as               beneficial               as               over-the-counter               drugs.

Herbal               supplements               and               other               home               remedies               may               be               quite               helpful               to               you               for               some               conditions.

Not               only               are               they               cheaper               but               often               do               not               have               the               side               effects               that               prescription               drugs               may               have.
