Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most health plans are required to cover preventive care WITHOUT cost-sharing requirements such as copays and deductibles. In other words, services such as health and cancer screenings as well as vaccinations, can be FREE to you!

Be sure to check your plan details to confirm, and stay within your plan's network to ensure these services are fully covered.

Generic medications are just as effective as their brand-name counterparts— but they often cost 80–85% less.

Pro tip: Next time you’re at the pharmacy, ask,
“Is there a generic version of this medication?”
Pharmacists are legally allowed to substitute with generics in most cases and it could make a big difference for your wallet.

This summer, remember to look for sunscreen with an SPF of 30 (which blocks 97% of UVB rays) or higher.

Skin Cancer (especially melanoma) is one of the most expensive cancers to treat, ranging on average from $8,000 to over $150,000. Regular use of sunscreen reduces the chance of skin cancer significantly AND can save you thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs in the long run.
