Most people don’t expect to have a catastrophic health event that will require hiring someone to manage their health. Perhaps you have good doctors, adequate health insurance, and a general sense of well-being. Most people also think that they would know what to do in an emergency situation or after an alarming diagnosis. However, people are typically not as prepared as they think. If you or a loved one was diagnosed with a chronic illness or ended up in the emergency room, would you know what to do? At Better Health Advisors, we create custom health plans that help by:
- Assessing your current health situationA custom and thorough plan starts with an assessment of your current health conditions, your team of doctors and your health insurance coverage. A health plan provides concrete and easy to understand information about your insurance plan, including what doctors are in network, ways to save money on prescriptions, and services you may not have known were covered.
- Addressing any current medical needsA health plan will also outline how to tackle any current health needs, from what doctors to see to where to get your medications for the best price. You may be shocked to find there are better treatment options available or ways to save money on your current care.
- Prepare for future health needsA health plan can mean many things in terms of future healthcare planning: connecting you to emergency rooms that can access your medical records, preparing a list of in network urgent care facilities, or planning when home health care services are needed.
Plans will help prepare and guide on what to do, no matter the healthcare situation or severity. If you want to be more prepared and get an edge on your health, call Better Health Advisors.
