The cost of an office visit can vary depending on factors like where the doctor is located. If you haven’t met your deductible yet for the year, check with your insurer or the doctor’s office to determine the cost of a visit before making an appointment. — TRY SOMETHING NEW Telemedicine is supposed to be all the rage in 2016, with big insurers like UnitedHealth Group Inc. expanding coverage and the drugstore chain Walgreens pushing a smartphone app that lets patients see a doctor without leaving home or work. Doctors have used video feeds and other technology for years to treat patients in rural areas or remote locations. But experts say growing smartphone use and customer demand are fueling a rapid expansion of telemedicine into everyday care. If you’re worried about a high deductible, you might want to think about adding to your insur- ance coverage. Companies like Sun Life Financial offer accident coverage that will provide cash that helps cover costs left behind by shrinking insurance. — USE IT, DON’T LOSE IT This applies to flexible spending accounts, which employers provide to let their workers set aside income before taxes to cover health-related expenses. Resolve to use your entire balance before you lose it. Check with your employer on how that might happen. Some companies may require you to spend your money by the end of the year or give you a grace period into the new year. Many also allow you to carry over as much as $500. These accounts can help pay for bandages, condoms or cough drops, among an array of eligible items, so think creatively if you need to spend a leftover balance. Those who can’t spend down their accounts generally wind up forfeiting less than $100, according to WageWorks Inc., which administers benefits accounts for employers. GET GOING!
