Save Money on Medical Expenses
- Use PriceDoc.com. PriceDoc.com lets you bid on medical procedures, like teeth whitening, breast augmentation, LASIK, etc. It’s often described as “Priceline.com for medical procedures.”
- Always buy generic medicine, if possible.
- Considering traveling to other countries for major medical procedures. This is known as medical tourism and is an increasingly popular tactic for saving money.
- When your doctor prescribes a medicine, always ask for samples. The samples won’t be enough to save you from having to fill the prescription, but they can certainly buy you enough time to visit a lower cost pharmacy. Sometimes, they can even be enough to prevent you from having to get a refill of the prescription.
