Staff Benefits will be at the Fort Wayne campus on Friday, Feb. 20, for two sessions of the "Wise Use of the Healthcare System" seminar.
The sessions are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Kettler 117, and advance registration is not required. Those participating in the session will be eligible for a Healthy Purdue red apple.
The seminar is the first in a three-part series on health care consumerism, which will address rising health care costs and tightening financial budgets and will promote understanding of different health accounts relevant to employees at Purdue.
"Wise Use of the Healthcare System" is an overview of basic ways to use your medical plan to minimize health care expenses. It covers important factors related to proper use of your current health plan, the difference between the emergency room and urgent care, and key steps that can help you take control of your health.
