Will I have adequate access to cost and quality information in making health care decisions?
Learn everything you can about CDHPs from your benefits advisor and health plan partners. Resources and coaching should be available, so take advantage of them.
The ability to effectively leverage the power of your CDHP rests with your desire to obtain reliable and accurate information. With a CDHP, you are invested in your health care choices, and most employers, health plan providers, and Benefits Advisors have printed and electronic materials they can share with you to help you make informed, educated decisions. In addition, you may address questions to your human resources department—they are there to help, as is the Coach
Consider these questions when choosing your plan:
- Where can I get information on the cost and quality of the services my doctor is recommending?
- How can I minimize out-of-pocket expenses without jeopardizing the quality of care I receive?
- Can I access services and products such as prescriptions through the mail?
- Can I access services and products such as prescriptions over the Internet?
- How do employees access their healthcare accounts?
- What services are not allowable under the plan or the healthcare account?
- Does the company offer an employee assistance program (EAP)?
- How can I access the EAP?
- What types of health improvement programs does the company offer through the work site?
