Routine care versus unexpected care

A wellness add-on may list benefits for examinations, vaccines, testing or preventives, often with item-specific allowances. Accident-and-illness insurance addresses eligible unforeseen events subject to policy terms.

Evaluate the arithmetic

  • Add the annual cost of the wellness option.
  • List each benefit and its stated allowance.
  • Mark the services you reasonably expect to use.
  • Check whether unused allowances roll over. They often do not.
  • Compare the plan with paying routine care directly.
