Trick or Treat(ment) - How to NOT Get Hoodwinked in Healthcare

It's easy to be confused about how to best utilize your resources when it comes to making healthcare decisions. In the midst of all of the marketing messaging, how do you figure out what might work for you and what's a scam?

Here are my top 5 strategies for evaluating how to think about a healthcare product or service:

1. Educate yourself - a knowledgeable consumer is less likely to be deceived
2. Be wary of outrageous claims - learn how to apply the "sniff test" to health claims
3. Treatments should be data driven - objective testing/measurements are an important part of individualizing care
4. Don't be afraid to look outside of traditional insurance coverage - just because you have poor insurance or no insurance does not mean that you don't have access to healthcare resources
5. Don't give up if you've not found YOUR answer - there's something out there for everyone, keep after it until you find the help you need. Working with a provider on this step will help eliminate the guesswork and save precious time and money

Apply these principles when appraising any new healthcare product or service. It will lead to better outcomes, lower costs, and a better overall quality of life!
