Become an Informed Healthcare Consumer

Keeping healthcare costs down is important for all of our members. That’s why we work with our vendors and partners each day to make sure that we are maximizing every healthcare dollar that you entrust to us.

Why is this important?

Recent research indicates approximately 20% of the dollars in the U.S. economy are spent on healthcare – more than any developed country in the world. This same research also shows that it is the price of each service, rather than the volume of healthcare services, that is driving this trend. Higher costs for each service mean higher rates for our members.

Join with us and become an informed healthcare consumer! Here are some things to you can do to join the cause:

• Remember, the cost of care can be significantly different for the same service, depending on where you go.
• Hospitals will always be the most expensive option for things like lab work, MRI’s/X-rays, and even outpatient surgery.
• Let us know how we can help you find the most cost-effective option for your care. We may be able to help save you money on your out-of-pocket expenses.
• Log into your MyCVT account, where you can see all of your benefit selections in one place. MyCVT is a benefit enrollment and eligibility management system that gives members on-demand information about eligibility, benefit enrollment, and document sharing through a single online service between you, your district and CVT. The website is password-protected, secure and confidential!

While CVT will always be here to ensure that you get best plan options with the most value-added benefits, becoming an informed healthcare consumer will help you stretch your benefit dollar.
