This easy-to-understand handbook provides the valuable insider tips on how to select a high-quality health insurance plan, how to make every doctor's visit productive, whether body scans, dietary supplements, or concierge physicians are worth the money, what and who are the various primary care and specialist physicians a person may encounter, the truth about generic and branded medications, and which tests, procedures, and actions must be done to stay well both physically and financially. As healthcare becomes increasingly expensive, confusing, and difficult to navigate, this book clears the clutter and provides readers with useful information they won't find anywhere else.
