As the end of the year approaches, so does the need for effective use a franchise. You have reached the franchise this year or not, try to think of ways that you could get more use out of it in 2012.
Try to follow some of these tips for 2012:
- If you hit the franchise in 2011, try to use more health care services before the end of the year. This is quite last minute, but you have a few days to enjoy the franchise reach this year.
- Do not put the health care services in 2012, if you need them. If you reach the deductible earlier in the year, then you will have more time to benefit from health insurance coverage for services. (This may not apply to individuals with a high deductible.)
- Open a Health Savings Account (HSA) at the beginning of the year. The more money you put in the HSA earlier in the year, will collect the most interest in the account.
- Remember there is a difference between a family deductible and an individual deductible. With a health plan of the family, you may need to hit the individual deductible and family deductible before Medicare coverage kicks in.
- Be smart about where you go for medical services. If you need to meet a deductible to the hospital and visit a hospital for services rather than an imaging imaging center - but that does not mean you have to go to the hospital when you should consult a doctor.
- Do not forget the allowable credit. Some insurance plans include a deductible credit, but you should consider this before choosing a plan or if your current plan has the advantage.

If you leave the franchise in 2011, you may qualify for a deductible of reducing the following year. For example, you do not fill your $ 10,000 in 2011 to franchise in 2012, you will get a 20 percent discount (to become a $ 8,000 deductible). If you do not meet your deductible in 2012, then you may be eligible for a further reduction in 2013.
