5. Check your medical bills.
Mistakes happen. The wrong insurance code for a treatment or test could cost you thousands of dollars, or your health plan could even deny the claim. Ask questions - in person if you can - about any charges that don't seem right.

4. Sign up for an FSA or HSA.
Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) & health savings accounts (HSAs) let you use pre-tax money to pay for medical expenses. You can even use them to pay for over-the-counter meds & things like bandages, sunscreen, breast pumps, & condoms.

Investing in improving health literacy could drive better health outcomes. Not only could it help prevent nearly 1M hospital visits, but it could save over $25B a year! Learn how in our new research report: https://t.co/gAahNucwV5

Grateful to speak today at the World Health Summit 2020 on the importance of health literacy for universal coverage. Its a political choice and a human imperative #healthliteracy

Our definition is short, sweet, and to the point: #HealthLiteracy is the ability to understand and act on health information.

CAPT Paul Reed at #APHA2020: Healthy People 2030 includes a new definition of #HealthLiteracy that addresses the role of organizations. Learn more about health literacy in #HP2030: https://t.co/Qitt12STQx

Review your health plan! Make sure it still works for you.

#HealthLiteracy isn't just about knowing how to take care of yourself. Picking the right health plan - and understanding the consequences - is a huge part of it too.

A couple nights in the hospital can cost well over $10,000. Deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance can all change - sometimes drastically. You need to be sure about your health coverage, or you risk huge money problems for the rest of your life.

[EdLogics @EdLogics]

Knowing what to do to prevent chronic disease, how to take medications, and where to go when you’re sick - and acting on that knowledge - can have a huge impact on both personal health and the number of costly healthcare claims. #HealthLiteracyMonth

Fight depression. Unplug!

[EdLogics @EdLogics]

Certain types of talk therapy have been shown to be really effective for #depression and #anxiety. A common misconception about therapy is that it takes years to be effective. In reality, certain types of therapy can help you feel better after just a few months.

Fight depression. Work up a sweat!
