Health Care Consumerism: How to become a Savvier Health Care Consumer
Presented by Melissa Erenberg, Communications and Education Consultant at Assurance
Becoming a more informed consumer is essential in combating the rising costs of health care. The actual cost of medical services and procedures is staggering. And it’s no secret that health care costs continue to rise exponentially each year.
Why play a more active role in understanding the costs of your medical services and procedures? Well the answer is simple, why not? By adopting a more consumer-minded approach to health care like you do other consumer goods, you’re more inclined to think through quality, costs and overall value. After all, you would never buy a new big screen television or new car without feeling like you’re getting the very best price, so why wouldn’t you shop around for health care too.
Regardless of what medical plan you’re enrolled in, learning to practice health care consumerism needs to become a natural part of your daily routine. Understanding that you’re likely paying more for things like prescription drugs, basic medical services, higher cost scans (MRIs), etc. is important in saving money long term.
During this webinar, you’ll gain a better understanding of:
• What is healthcare consumerism
• Why it’s important to become more mindful user of it
• Valuable tools and resources to help put consumerism into practice
