Maintaining the Value of Employee Benefit Plans
Recently, an article offering financial advice encouraged people with employee benefit plan coverage to use as much of their benefits as possible, prior to the end of the year. The author went on to say that, in her case, as she is paying 100% of the cost, she makes sure she uses as much as possible of her dental, chiropractic, massage etc.
If everyone in that group plan adopts the same approach the plan fees are going to consistently escalate.

But no other time accentuates our diversity as much as the end of a year and the beginning of the next.
