Five Simple Ways to Improve your Health and your Wealth!

Five Simple Ways to Improve your Health and your Wealth!

Are your health and wealth really connected? Yes they are! 2BenefitU has the Health/Wealth Connection Benefit to keep you looped in to all of the latest advice from those in the know, but here are some simple things you can start doing right away to help keep your physical and financial wellness at peak.

  1. Exercise! It doesn’t matter where you start as long as you start. Get a walking or jogging buddy, sign up for a class at the local YMCA, join a gym, and enroll in classes at a boutique fitness center and make some new friends who are also focused on fitness. A cycling class works when you can’t get out of doors, and Pilates is great for a low impact workout that won’t stress your joints.
  2. Pick a bad habit and quit it. This can be something big like smoking or that twice daily triple espresso, or something smaller like that wasted hour every day surfing Facebook. Trade the bad habit for a new one – buy a blender and start trying out healthy smoothies, or spend 15 minutes in meditation daily instead of online.
  3. Change your mindset! Keep a journal and write down three positive things every day – something good you did or that happened to you, something you are presently grateful for, and a goal or dream you are working towards in the future.
  4. Budget for self-care. Everyone needs some extra help, book that weekly massage, spend that hour curled up in a reading nook at the library, and indulge in those healthy organic snacks when you stop by the store.
  5. Start saving. It doesn’t have to be a lot – start with all of your loose change, and work up to a dollar a day, or $20 a week. Eventually your nest egg will be enough to make a tangible difference in your life.

By implementing these five simple steps you both become more aware of your health and your wealth, and you start to safeguard both. Since your health expenses can affect your wealth, it makes sense to stay as fit and healthy as possible – in body, mind, and spirit. Likewise, your wealth can affect your health – both in being able to provide for your needs and reducing stress from worrying about your financial situation.

Finally, take advantage of the Health / Wealth Connection Benefit you get as part of any plan from 2BenefitU. Even if you just add one piece of good advice a week to your life, it will make a huge difference!

Sometimes it just gets to the point where you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Managing your health care issues when you feel like giving up can be agonizing. All you want to do is get better – why does there have to be so much paperwork?

If you have medical care issues that require constant trips to the doctor, visits to the lab, and hours on the phone with insurance companies trying to figure out how much you actually are going to owe, an advocate is exactly what you need.

With our Health Advocacy benefit, you get a Personal Health Care Advocate to step in when you just can’t deal with another 30 minutes on hold. Each advocate is trained to understand complex medical issues, knows the right things to say to insurance representatives, can explain the difference between generic and brand name drugs to you, and be your guide while navigating the increasingly confusing world of the healthcare system.

When you have an advocate, everything gets easier! They can:

  • Untangle messy insurance and medical billing issues
  • Locate the right doctors, specialists, hospitals, dentists and pharmacies to deliver the best possible care
  • Research treatments and inform you about your options
  • Provide medical explanations you can understand
  • Coordinate your care among multiple providers
  • Arrange second opinions if you feel you are being misdiagnosed
  • Transfer medical records and get copies for you
  • Assist with eldercare and related healthcare issues
  • Negotiate payment arrangements with providers and find options for non-covered services
  • Provide information about generic drug options and prescription refill services

Whether you are seeking a new doctor, fighting over coverage, striving to make sense of lab results, or struggling to comprehend piles of bills, a Health Advocate can help you. When you are sick, paperwork and red tape is the last thing you should be concerned with – it simply adds stress and make you feel worse – so getting a pro to walk you through the processes so you can get feeling better is just common sense!

This benefit is huge – even if you only use it a few times each year, you could save well over what it costs as part of your subscription package. Best of all, Health Advocacy is only one of up to over 20 benefits you could be using, starting at just $15.95 per month. You could save five or ten times that amount in just one revised medical bill!

Do You Hear That? It’s a Benefit Calling Your Name

Amazingly, people who need hearing aids often go ten years past the time when they should have gotten them fitted before they give in and acquire their first set. The reasons are many; people associate needing a hearing aid with being “old”, they are too vain for a hearing aid, the cost is prohibitive.

In addition, many doctors don’t start testing hearing in adults until well after they have started suffering hearing loss. This is behind the times – people are losing hearing function at earlier ages than ever due to environmental noise; loud buzzing, screeching, or electronic feedback in the workplace; constant use of earbuds, headphones and Bluetooth devices, and more.

Getting your hearing tested and following up with the hearing aids you need is easy with 2BenefitU’s hearing benefit. When you have this benefit, you get:

  • A free initial hearing screening to help detect signs of hearing loss
  • Up to 35% savings on hearing aids at thousands of provider locations across the country
  • Access to a convenient mail order service where you can save 40 to 60% on over 100 makes of hearing aids, and have them shipped straight to your door.
  • A two year supply of hearing aid batteries
  • A two year warrantee with a one-time replacement  for covered losses and damages
  • Unlimited follow-up care for cleaning and checkups with purchase
  • 100% Service Satisfaction Guarantee during the first 60 days
  • Patient financing options
  • The latest technology in all models, so you can be sure you’re getting the highest quality products available.   

You can use your discount card as many times as needed, for yourself, your spouse, and your legal dependents. Choose your provider from a list of thousands, get your free screenings, and follow up with hearing aids as needed, choosing from six different brands.

Don’t let vanity get in the way of hearing the world in clear surround sound! If your hearing has been damaged or diminished, even if you aren’t a senior citizen, you can take advantage of this benefit and get the crystal clear hearing you deserve.
