Health Benefits & The End of the Year: Use ’em or Lose ’em

By | 2017-05-31T21:28:58-04:00 October 10th, 2014|Corporate|

It’s apple and pumpkin picking season, and you’ve probably already finalized your plans for Thanksgiving and are coming close to closing the deal as you debate your options and the balance of family and friends over the holidays and New Year’s.  So as you think about your to do list through the end of the year, don’t forget to take your wellness and health benefits into consideration.

Many health plans include flexible spending accounts that can be applied to things such as chiropractic visits, physical therapy and acupuncture, just some of the many services DASHA® offers.  But if you don’t use that money allotted to you by the end of the year, it disappears, and you can’t carry it over to the following calendar year.  This is a shame!  Your company provides money for you to take the best possible care of yourself, and you’re not taking advantage of it!

It’s New York, so you’re busy.  And if you run your own company or you have children or you’re like me and do both, you’re even busier than the average New Yorker.  Life is a juggling game of time management.  But when it comes to your wellness, it’s important to make the time– taking care of you first actually, in the end, allows you to give even more of your time and attention to other people and things in your life (and often results in fewer sick days).  When you let your wellness get to an emergency level situation, that’s when the work piles up and commitments and engagements have to be abandoned in order to deal with a health crisis.

So talk to your human resources benefits coordinator.  Find out what your insurance pays for, or call our billing department so they can help you at 212.755.5500.  DASHA® offers chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy and personal training services, and we’re in the business of helping you enhance your well-being.  When it comes to your health benefits for 2014, make the active decision to use ‘em or lose ‘em, and do it now.
