WSJ Your Money Briefing · Open Enrollment: Avoiding Errors When Choosing Benefits · 25 Oct 2019 podcast

The past is important to understand the benefits that you've selected the prior year and understanding what did you use and what did you not use?

Or were there situations when you could have benefited from a benefit that your employer provided that could have helped you?

So a situation could be your employer provided an accident benefit last year and

you didn't sign up for it and you had an accident where that benefit could have afforded you coverage and a payment in order to help with your medical expenses.

The future is probably even more important.

And it's really about taking the time to understand what does your next year look like?

Are you possibly thinking of having a baby or having knee surgery?

and understanding how the different benefits can help protect you as you move forward in the year.

It's really about saving time, saving money, and saving stress as you think about your benefit options.

That is correct.

High deductible health plans are becoming more and more popular with employers.

And when you think about those high deductible health plans, you're going to have a significant amount of money that will be out of pocket.

And one thing to think about as you think about the high deductible health plans is

is an HSA.

And so an HSA can really help you in paying for medical bills that are happening today.

But what's more important is HSAs can also be used in thinking about your retirement and future medical costs and medical costs after you retire.

They're normally portable and they have investment options.

So it's a great option when paired with a high deductible health plan.

Yes, that's correct.

You know, one statistics that we talk about a lot is it's very overwhelming for people when they go through an open enrollment period.
