Most health plans follow a calendar year, so unused benefits may not carry over. Here are a few key reminders:

  1. Schedule Preventive Care: Book any remaining annual checkups, screenings, or vaccinations; they are often covered at no cost.
  2. Use Your FSA: If you have a Flexible Spending Account, check your balance. Most FSAs follow a "use-it-or-lose-it" rule. Spend remaining funds on eligible items like dental work, glasses, or OTC medications. Check eligibility for Health Care FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and Limited Expense Health Care FSA. Determine if the expense you incurred may be eligible here.
  3. Review Prescription Coverage: Make sure you have enough medication and refill any prescriptions. Confirm any necessary authorizations are up to date. Some may require annual authorization to be completed.
  4. Plan for Next Year: Your medical carrier's online member portal has tools that may be helpful.
  5. Create an account with your medical carrier and access on the go!
