Are you Aware of the Health / Wealth Connection?

In a recent study by the CDC, it was shown that 75% of healthcare costs are due to chronic illness, and over 80% of chronic illnesses are due to stress.

Have stress headaches, stomach trouble, shoulder, neck and back pain, dental problems caused by grinding or clenching your teeth, fatigue, sleeplessness, and other stress related or exacerbated issues? Your stress could be making you sick!

This means your everyday level of anxiety over things like your financial situation, your job, your work or school situation, and your family, kids, or pets could be contributing to how you feel physically. If your day to day worries are increasing your stress levels, this may be costing you more than you think, and it can be difficult to know where to turn for help.

That’s where the Health Wealth Connection comes in. When you are able to set things right in your financial world, often your physical problems can be alleviated – at least, the ones that are made visible and worsened by stress can.  

This benefit gives you a wide range of simple solutions you can use to manage both your physical health and personal finances. It’s a fully customizable approach to your needs, yielding the benefits of the following in an easy to use, automated package:

  • A health coach with tips for better sleep cycles, exercises you can do even if you are super busy, and reminders about recommended checkups and wellness visits as well as screenings at key points in your life
  • A financial planner that can help you balance your budget, save money, plan for the future, get rid of debt, and more
  • A nutritionist which delivers meal suggestions, dietary tips, guidance on managing your calorie intake, and even lose weight safely

Are you Getting the Best Deal You can on Pharmaceuticals-

Are you Getting the Best Deal You Can on Pharmaceuticals?

Right now, 70% of Americans take at least one prescription, and 20% take five or more. Multiply that by a family of four, and you could have a pretty packed medicine cabinet.

Trying to navigate different insurance companies, fight for coverage for medications that are unusual or prescribed off label while figuring out your annual costs can be a challenge. The Affordable Care Act helped make medical care more accessible, but for many the costs of their prescriptions are staggering. How do you minimize the effect rising prescription costs have on your finances, and get the very best deal on all of your meds?

A Discount Pharmacy Card could be the answer. What many people don’t realize is that many pharmacies and drug manufacturers have agreements with insurance companies regarding costs and co-pays. Your regular medical insurance might not always offer you the best price, and pricing can vary widely from pharmacy to pharmacy.

With a 2BenefitU Discount Pharmacy Card, you get a wealth of savings benefits, including:

  • The ability to fill prescriptions at familiar pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and even WalMart at the lowest possible price.
  • An easy to use card that saves you between 10 and 85% on many common and less common medications
  • An average of 42% savings over the course of a year compared to the regular cost of prescriptions
  • A website that tells you exactly where to go in your area for the lowest possible price on your prescriptions at participating pharmacies (MyRXPrice.com)

When you present your 2BenefitU Discount Prescription Card at a participating pharmacy, they’ll automatically calculate the discount so you pay only the discounted price- or, if the pharmacy has a lower price, you’ll pay the lesser cost. No extra paperwork to do, no hassle or calling the insurance company, no bills to come in later. Just instant savings on the medications you and your family need to stay well.

That’s right – with this card, you don’t have to have one for each family member. You and your family can use the card at any of the 60,000 participating pharmacies. It’s that simple, and it’s only one of the up to 21 benefits you can get to improve your life with a monthly subscription starting at just $15.95. Some of our members find that the Discount Pharmacy Card pays for their subscription all by itself in monthly savings!

Are Fur-Baby Health Care Costs Eating Your Pocketbook-

Are Fur-Baby Health Care Costs Eating Your Pocketbook?

Nearly 70% of American households have at least one pet – and many have far more than one (the average is 3 pets.) Your four-legged friends are part of the family – but they can be just as expensive as children to care for.

Whether a pet needs basic preventive care, has a temporary or chronic illness, or is involved in an accident, the vet’s office is the first place you head. It’s only later that the financial cost of caring for your pet sinks in and you can be left owing the vet’s office a bundle!

2BenefitU’s PetAssure™ benefit takes some of the post-vet-visit sting and makes you feel good about your pet’s health while helping to defray some of the costs that can pile up. When you have a pet care benefit plan, you can:

  • Save 25% off on-site procedures at participating veterinary clinics
  • Save 10-35% off of other per care related services and supplies
  • Enjoy discounts on training, boarding, or doggie daycare at participating providers
  • Receive a pet ID tag and 24 hour pet location service

It doesn’t matter what kind of pet you have!

PetAssure™ covers all kinds of pets, including:

  • Dogs
  • Cats
  • Birds
  • Horses
  • Llamas
  • Monkeys
  • … and more

It doesn’t matter what kind of care your pet needs!

PetAssure™ provides discounts on all type of procedures at participating vet offices, including:

  • Well visits, shots, and spay/neuter
  • Emergency visits
  • Tooth extractions
  • Skin abscesses
  • Bladder stones
  • Cancer treatment
  • … and more.

All you have to do is show your card at a participating veterinary practice or other service provider. There are no exclusions for preexisting conditions, age of the pet, or anything else. You can use the benefit as many times as is needed for all pets in your household.

Get peace of mind and big discounts on vet bills when you use 2BenefitU’s household plan. It includes this valuable pet care benefit and over 20 other benefits for a low cost of just $24.95 per month!

The annual savings for a two pet household more than covers the cost of this one benefit – and you still get access to all the other 20+ benefits (including healthcare discounts for the two-footed members of your family, roadside assistance, counseling, financial advice, and more) for your entire family.

Don’t Resign Yourself to Back and Neck Pain – Chiropractic Relief is in Reach

Don’t Resign Yourself to Back and Neck Pain – Chiropractic Relief is in Reach

A tweaked back or stiff neck can make everyday tasks a misery. Painkillers only mask the problem, without treating the root cause of the problem. In many cases, a simple chiropractic adjustment is all that is needed- but typical health plans either don’t cover chiropractic treatment at all, or offer only the smallest reimbursable benefit, usually capped at a set number of visits per year.

Going without treatment simply may not be an option- back and neck pain can cause a variety of painful symptoms, including migraines, and most people can’t afford to lie in bed until they feel better. Work, children, and other responsibilities demand that you be in working order.

Many people are forced to cover their neck and back adjustments out of pocket, adding yet another financial hurdle in the path of feeling better. However, there is a way to get discounted chiropractic treatment from qualified practitioners!

How Our Chiropractic Benefit Works:

When you use this benefit, you are part of the UHS Chiropractic™ network. This means you get:

  • Access to over 3,000 chiropractors nationwide
  • A free initial consultation to determine the source of your pain
  • 50% off of diagnostic procedures and x-rays on-site at the chiropractic office
  • 30% off most treatments and other services

If more than one member of your household needs chiropractic treatment, or you need more than a few visits per month or year, it’s all eligible for the discounts!

How to Use this Benefit:

If you already have a chiropractor, you can nominate him or her to be part of the UHS™ network – all you have to do is fill out a simple form and they’ll be contacted and asked if they would like to join. If you don’t have a chiropractor, you can use the member portal to find a provider near you, or call the toll free number and a patient care liaison will help you find one.

When you make your appointment, simply say “I’m with UHS™,” and your discount will be automatically applied. If your insurance does reimburse any portion of chiropractic fees, you can then submit the receipt to them for additional savings.

Get the relief you need from joint, back, and head pain with chiropractic treatment professionals. With 2BenefitU, this service is available along with over 20 more in household plans starting at just $19.95 per month.
