Navigating your Health Plan – A Deeper Dive into your BCBS plan
Do you shop for health care services? If you do not, did you know the same procedure can vary significantly in costs depending on what hospital or clinic you choose? Join Human Resources to explore how to shop for common medical procedures, understand treatment costs and the different options for choices for care. You will learn how to shop for procedures to find the best quality AND cost while also getting rewarded for doing so! Human Resources will illustrate how these choices directly impact the price you pay for healthcare at Oakland Schools. For the best experience bring a device with you BCBS information readily accessible.
You can download the BCBS app here: Apple or Android
When: Tuesday, June 18 at 11am in Room 170
