Men’s Health Month is a reminder that taking care of your health today can make a difference for years to come.

When it comes to prostate health, knowledge is power. A PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test may be an important part of a conversation with your doctor, depending on your age, family history, and personal risk factors. Early detection starts with staying informed.

Learn more about PSA testing, who should consider screening, and what to discuss with your healthcare provider: https://www.apwuhp.com/psa-test-prostate-cancer-screening-for-men/

Deductibles. Copays. Coinsurance.

Health insurance terms can sometimes feel like a language of their own, but understanding what they mean can help you make more informed decisions about your care and budget. Knowing the difference between a deductible, copay, and coinsurance can help you better understand your out-of-pocket costs and avoid surprises when you need medical services.

These are some of the most common cost-sharing expenses in health plans and play an important role in how healthcare costs are shared between you and your plan.

Ready to break down the basics?

Read our latest article and gain a clearer understanding of how these costs work together so you can make the most of your health coverage.
