Are You A Health Plan Pro?
It’s almost that time of year again. Nope, I’m not talking about Halloween or the upcoming presidential election. I’m talking about open enrollment for your health care plan.
Open enrollment is the period of time where you can renew or make changes to your health care plan. It typically starts November 1st and runs through the end of January. If you work in a corporate environment, you’ve probably received emails already from your HR folks letting you know about it. I know learning about the health care opportunities available to you may not be the sexiest of topics, but it is important. Don’t ignore it. My husband and I did one year and it happened to be the year I got pregnant. We should have changed our plan knowing we would have more medical expenses that year and we didn’t. It was a bummer. Don’t let this happen to you!
Health care companies are helping educate people about the health care options available to them. United Healthcare has come up with a series of quizzes and interactive games on their website to help make it easier to learn about the options available to you. Just take a look at their new, beautiful site. Love it!
The first series is called “Are You A Health Care Pro?” I took the series and got a 5 out of 5 stars. I was happy about it.

Now it’s time for my favorite part of the United Healthcare quizzes and interactive tools – the giveaway! There are several steps in the “Are You A Health Care Pro?” interactive tool.

We educate ourselves by staying current. There are many websites to see what kind of deal you are getting aand the coverage provided. You can also call most of the providers to see what fits you best. Hubby has had many health problems, it is sometimes tough to figure out.
