Four ways to stretch your health dollar

  1. Ask every clinic and pharmacy for the cash price before you book or fill.
  2. Bring your last tax return or pay stubs to a health center visit so the sliding fee applies on day one.
  3. Ask for a 90-day supply when your prescriber agrees.
  4. Apply for Medicaid any time of year, and check Marketplace savings during open enrollment.
