Do you like to Shop?

You wouldn’t buy a plane ticket or a hotel room without researching your options. Health care should be no different!
Knowing where to get the best quality care for a fair price is an important part of being an educated health care consumer.

Know Your Medical Plan

On each medical plan, certain services are covered after the deductible. That means that you are responsible to pay for the full
cost of the services (less a discount from ASR) until you meet your deductible. After your deductible is met, you pay a percentage of
the remainder of the cost of the services or a flat dollar copay, depending on your plan.

Do Your Homework

A cost and quality comparison tool is available through your member account at ASRhealthcare.com. You can compare costs using your personalized plan information.

The Range in Health Care Costs

Do you know what it would cost to have an MRI? According to the ASR Healthcare Choices tool, anywhere
from $525 to $1,890 depending on where you go! That is a big range.

Shop Prescription Drugs

Comparing the cost of prescriptions is also a way to save money. GoodRx is one site that offers price comparisons as well as coupons
for certain prescriptions. Visit goodrx.com.

Rx Savings – Manufacturers Assistance Program

ASCEND provides a range of prescription benefit programs that bridge the gap between care and cost. If you or your loved is on a
high-cost or specialty medication you can work with a Patient Care Advocate to help alleviate your costs or to qualify for programs
