Sometimes overlooked benefits found in your Health Plans or HMO’s

Posted May 18, 2010 by Maureen Koelsch

My family and I are members of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care plan.  Each season we receive their member magazine which highlights latest health topics and plan benefits.  Upon reading it, I was surprised to find they offer member savings and discounts on family support and healthy aging services.  Some of the aging services included, caregiving assistance, elder care locating and advocacy as well as home care services.  I would image it would be in the HMO’s best interest to keep you healthy and out of the hospitals to save them costs.  

Take some time to investigate and see if your health plan offers any healthy aging services that you could benefit from.   You might be surprised what you’ve been missing out on!
