Chapter 1: The Hidden Costs of What You’re Not Doing

You might think you're managing your health insurance correctly. You pay your premiums, show your card at the doctor’s office, and hope you’re covered when you need care.

But what if I told you that you’re probably leaving hundreds—maybe even thousands—of dollars on the table?

I know this because I’ve seen it happen time and time again.

Real Stories of Wasted Money

?? An independent contractor spent $500 at urgent care—not realizing their plan included free telemedicine. ?? A small business owner forgot to file a supplemental accident claim, leaving a $2,500 payout unclaimed. ?? A retiree didn’t check their insurance provider’s cost estimator tool, overpaying $1,200 for an MRI.

These aren’t rare cases. Most people don’t fully utilize their health insurance benefits because: ? They don’t know they exist. ? They assume they’re difficult to use. ? They think they’ll automatically be applied.

That’s why having an agent you trust is invaluable. A knowledgeable agent isn’t just there to help you pick a plan. They make sure you’re using it properly—so you get the full value of what you’re already paying for.

For example, all of our clients receive a welcome letter (or email) with links to set up their insurance carrier’s online portal, telemedicine services, cost estimator tools, and claim forms for supplemental benefits.

We also provide ongoing support to help navigate claims, find lower-cost options for procedures, and ensure you never miss out on money-saving opportunities hidden in your plan.

The next few chapters will walk you through the most common myths, overlooked benefits, and easy steps to start saving today—and if you ever have questions, you have a team ready to help.




Chapter 2: The Myths That Are Costing You Money

Myth #1: “If I Had Important Benefits, My Insurance Company Would Tell Me.”

Reality: Many benefits require separate enrollment—including telemedicine, wellness programs, and prescription discounts. Your insurance provider may not actively remind you about these perks. That’s why working with an agent ensures you’re set up correctly from day one.

Myth #2: “All In-Network Providers Charge the Same Price.”

Reality: Prices vary dramatically between providers, even within the same network. A knee MRI might cost $1,500 at one imaging center but only $300 at another. Checking your plan’s cost estimator tool (or asking your agent for help) can prevent unnecessary overpayments.

Myth #3: “If I Need to File a Claim, My Insurance Company Will Automatically Pay Me.”

Reality: Accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity policies require manual claim submission. If you don’t file the paperwork, you won’t receive cash benefits—even if you qualify.

Chapter 4: Maintenance – How to Stay on Top of Your Benefits
