Employee Benefits Guide July 2025 – June 2026Money Saving Tips:1. Always make sure your doctor and facility where you are seeking medical services are both in-network. 2. Know when to go where:1. Emergency Room visits are for life-threatening emergencies only (ex: seizures, major blood loss, compound fractures, head injury)2. Urgent care is for urgent but not life-threatening concerns (ex: a few stitches)3. Primary Care Doctor is for sickness that cannot be diagnosed via telemedicine (ex: strep throat, sprain)3. Telemedicine allows you to speak with a doctor over the phone within minutes and can be used to treat several conditions, such as the flu, earache, sinus infections, allergies, etc. If you aren’t sure, start here!4. When filling a prescription, ask for generic or over-the-counter equivalent. Note: if you’ve seen a commercial for that drug, it is most likely a specialty and will cost you.
