What are you doing . . .
. . .to to optimize your health and benefits choices?
Benefit plan costs are rising – at the same time as we are expecting our benefit plan to do more for us.
How often have you heard the phrase “What do you mean the _____ drug (or_____ treatment) is not covered?”
Health – it’s all we’ve got, and based on the assumption that:
- We want to optimize our health and physical capabilities as long as we can, and
- Our benefit programs provide a vehicle to do that by carrying most or all of the associated costs
. . .doesn’t it make sense to get informed and stay informed.
Here at BenefitsWorld it’s our objective to provide information about emerging benefit news, trends and sources of information.
Speaking of trends . . . there is an unmistakeable movement towards choice. Choice in benefits (why does everyone from 21 to 61 have the same benefits plan?) and choices in treatment. To make those choices – - -you guessed it, we’re going to need information.
Information – like that being covered in the Globe & Mail this week – Powered by Facebook, patients declare war over treatment. Provincial governments respond.
