By Chimezirim Gabriel Odimba

Have you succeeded in your bid to lower your rate? Did you simply stop at the few tips you learnt then? Won't you like to get more tips since that will translate to more massive savings? Then see if you've thought of these tips...

1. There are drugs that are established. You'll increase your spend if you buy big brand name drugs. But will you believe it if I told you that all generic drugs are required by law to have the exact same measure of active agents as brand name drugs? Where they are free to have any dissimilarity is in the inactive agents.

The truth then is that you only spend more when you buy a big brand name drug and do NOT enjoy anything extra in value. Ask your doctor before doing this.

2. A Flexible Spending Account is helpful as you search for opportunities to reduce your spend. You can keep tax-free dollars to cater for your health needs. You can as well roll over any amount you didn't use in a year to the subsequent year tax-free. This offers you a tax free method of building big reserves of funds to cater for your future health needs.

3. Your co-pay can be more than your drug cost in a number of situations. It may also be cheaper for you to buy a prescription out of the pocket (without your insurance). Find out which is applicable in each case and do what saves you more.



4. A healthy routine will get you cheaper rates. If you can stop taking junk food you'll pay less over time. Try to cut off cholesterol, fats and high carb from your diet and you will not only pay less but also enjoy a healthier life.

Apart from your diet, your commitment to regular exercise will help you live a healthier life and also eventually get you lower rates.

5. Your health insurance plan would likely offer you up to two free visits to a doctor for medical check ups.

Why do check-ups bring about savings?

It results in savings because the cost of dealing with health conditions in their mild stages is much less than treating full blown diseases. This means that your health insurer will spend less to take care of you if ailments are diagnosed at their early stages.

Therefore, they give you cheaper rates for helping them save.

6. Stop drinking if you want cheaper rates. Drinking adds to your health risk.

Drinking is the source of a good number of ailments and that is apart from the fact that it definitely will add to your risk to health insurance providers.

How much alcohol would be harmful to you as a person? I cannot really say as there are people who can drink a bottle and still be okay while some will take just half a glass and things start going wrong.

What I'm sure of is the fact that quitting alcohol abuse is would help a lot. So you can reduce your rates (Apart from reducing the likelihood of developing certain health conditions) by staying away from alcohol if you can or drinking responsibly if you can't.

But I am told it's more difficult to drink in moderation than it is to give it up totally. You can be assisted if you really want to stop drinking.
