LCRA offers a wide variety of health and wellness benefits, and understanding how they align with your lifestyle and preferences is an important first step to being a savvy healthcare consumer.
Picking the right plans during our annual open enrollment each fall, and then knowing how to use them, can significantly lower your health care costs. To prepare for open enrollment, register and log in to your member accounts:
Medical/Rx: UnitedHealthcare
Dental: Guardian

There, you can find care and cost information, review claims, check your coverage and benefits and receive pharmacy and prescription support. If you plan to open an HSA or FSA, reviewing your previous year’s claims can help you decide how much you want to contribute to these accounts.

1. Ask about cost in advance and shop around.
2. Know where to go for emergency care.
