Edward Jones provides a range of options to help you reduce expenses and avoid unnecessary costs. Explore these practical ways to take charge of your health and make informed, confident decisions.
Remember: You can take advantage of these resources even if you don't participate in an Edward Jones medical plan:
Get free coaching and counseling for mental and emotional well-being
Get immediate help or schedule yourself or a family member for up to eight free counseling sessions. Visit the Headspace Employee Assistance Program (Opens in new tab) for confidential emotional well-being assistance in the app and by phone.
Access extra cash with supplemental health coverage
Plan ahead in case you’re hospitalized, diagnosed with a critical condition or have an accident. These optional voluntary benefits (Opens in new tab) pay extra cash for expenses your medical plan doesn’t cover.
Save on prescriptions
You don’t have to accept the first prescription your provider suggests. Ask for less-expensive options. Sometimes, a generic version or a different formula works just as well.
Prevent and manage chronic conditions
Looking for help with weight management, nutrition, exercise or stress? Vida Health (Opens in new tab) offers personalized coaching and resources – at no cost – to help you prevent chronic conditions and related health issues or manage a chronic condition.
Save on taxes while setting aside money for health care expenses
Would you like a little help saving money for your health care expenses? A Flexible Spending Account (Opens in new tab) can make it easier and reduce your taxes, too.
Save on everything by staying in the network
No matter where you get your medical, prescription, dental or vision coverage, you’ll pay less when you stay in the plan’s network. For the Edward Jones plans, visit Anthem (Opens in new tab), Delta Dental (Opens in new tab) and VSP (Opens in new tab) to find network providers.
If you’re enrolled in an Edward Jones medical plan, you have even more opportunities to save.
Choose the best medical plan for your needs
When you’re choosing your medical plan for the next year, it may be hard to weigh the tradeoffs between premiums and potential out-of-pocket costs. Our decision-support tool, ALEX (Opens in new tab), can estimate your costs to help you select the best plan.
Save ahead and lower your taxes
A Health Savings Account (Opens in new tab) makes it easier to save for future health care expenses. You pay no taxes on what you save, invest or spend. The firm may even contribute to your account.
