Always Take Full Advantage
Too many people pay for health coverage they don’t use.

Insurance participation is expected by the insurance company. Many plans offer free preventive care which is your annual physical. It is an important visit because in many cases it establishes baselines for your overall health.

There are many types of insurance companies and those companies often offer a variety of coverage plans. You need to become educated about the plans available to you.
