And send that to your doctor, that's about half the price of going to your primary care doctor. So, it can be cheaper for them, and for you.

It's all about being proactive with your health care and sort of knowing. What's going on with your, with your health and how best to, how best to treat whatever it is that needs to be treated.

I mean like, if you do not take advantage of the wellness programs, your costs may go up. You can lower your bill and your overall health care spending, and be, if you're a little bit more correct. It, but at the same time, it requires a lot more attention. It requires a lot more work on your part.
