Identifying Healthcare Resources

Most of us do not have a good idea of what medical insurance will pay for until the need arises. Here are a few suggestions for how to identify and use healthcare resources:

  • Get to know your local pharmacist, who is an excellent and readily available resource.
  • Familiarize yourself with print and Internet resources. Both books and Web sites provide excellent resources and can put you in touch with other people and community agencies that can help. There is a vast amount of information on the Internet, so be selective and use credible sources.
  • Discuss your options with people outside of your network who have experienced your situation.
  • Have friends and family help with some of your managerial chores - sorting out bills, reviewing insurance policies, etc. Do not let bills pile up.
