When’s the last time you thought about preparing your will? Did you actually have it done, or did you think about it and then decide to put it off?  

Telehealth has made huge strides in popularity over the last few years, but do you ever wonder if it's safe? I’ve been using it for about 8 years and have heard success stories from hundreds of people who use it. Still, there are those who haven’t used it and ask me the same common questions.

Do you consider yourself a savvy healthcare consumer? I do, but a couple of summers ago, I made some mistakes that cost me $905 – and it could’ve been much worse! Here’s my story and hopefully it will help you, too. 

It was time for my annual mammogram and my doctor thought it would be good for me to have one additional diagnostic test based on some issues I was having (I’ll spare you the details – you’re welcome!).

Are you ready for 2017? I recently read the most common resolutions have to do with saving money and being healthy. At freshbenies, we like to write simple, fun articles that help our readers save on healthcare (and more). The healthcare roller coaster had a few twists in 2016 (with more to come in the year ahead)! While we’re reminiscing on 2016, let’s take a look back at the most popular blog posts. Ready?

“Back when I was a kid, if you wanted to see a doctor, you had to walk 10 miles in the snow. Uphill. Both ways!”

It’s that time of year! That’s right…the “Best of 2015” lists are everywhere! So, we thought we’d join the fun and provide our top 5 freshbenies articles from 2015. Without further ado…enjoy! 

Now that Star Wars Episode VII is out, we can confidently state that we are in ‘the future.’ Despite this, the healthcare industry tends to lag behind. For instance, we still can’t replace arms (Luke Skywalker) or restore burned, limbless bodies to perfect working condition (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader).

Not my kid! How many times have thought this when hearing about how a child’s identity was stolen because of online activity? Just the other day I was watching my teenage son play the newest Star Wars video game. I asked what his screen name was (thinking it would be something cool like Skywalker5000). He told me his screen name is his full name and the year he graduates! Seriously??
