Don't Leave Money on the Table

As the year winds down, your to-do list probably includes holiday shopping, planning gatherings, and maybe even setting new year's resolutions. But there's one critical financial and health task that often gets overlooked: using your remaining health insurance benefits!

If you've been putting off a urology visit, a follow-up test, or a scheduled procedure, the last few months of the year are the most strategic time to get it done. Here's why you should call UroPartners today to book your appointment before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.

Maximize Your Deductible: You May Be Closer Than You Think

A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay out-of-pocket before your insurance plan starts to cover a percentage of your medical bills.

• You've Met It: If you've already met your annual deductible from earlier treatments or procedures, your insurance coverage is now at its most generous. Any further appointments, tests (like a required PSA screening or CT scan), or minor procedures (like a vasectomy or cystoscopy) will be covered at a much higher percentage. Essentially, you pay less, and your insurance pays more!
• You're Close: Even if you haven't fully met your deductible, applying the cost of a necessary visit or test now will help you meet it for this year. That means the money you spend now counts toward your health for the current year, and you start at zero again in January.

Don't Lose Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Funds

If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you know the golden rule: use it or lose it!

Most FSA funds expire at the end of the year (though some plans offer a small rollover or grace period). Don't let those pre-tax dollars vanish! You can use your FSA funds for qualified healthcare expenses, which often include:

• Co-pays and deductibles for appointments.
• Specific medical supplies related to urologic care.

Spend your FSA dollars on a consultation, diagnostic imaging, or any prescribed urology treatment now to ensure you don't forfeit your savings.

Get a Head Start on Next Year's Health Goals

Putting off an appointment for recurring issues like kidney stones, BPH (enlarged prostate), or urinary incontinence means entering the new year with lingering symptoms. By scheduling a consultation or follow-up before the end of the year, you can:

Establish a treatment plan now.

Book a procedure for early January, ensuring you start the new year on a path to better health.

Don't let your benefits expire. Contact UroPartners today to schedule your annual check-up, complete any outstanding screenings, or finally address that nagging urologic issue.
