You keep your house clean and organized, right?
You should also work to keep your digital life clean and organized as well! An easy way to make sure you don’t miss important messages (like from your Robert J Stillwell agent and customer support team!) is to make sure your voicemail inbox is clutter free and still taking messages. Did you know that if you have too many stored voicemails (in the inbox OR the deleted messages folder) you could be missing important voicemails?
It’s easy to forget that true wellbeing doesn’t just play out on your yoga mat or on your plate, but also in your relationships.

Trivia
Here’s a tasty recipe to give a try!
MEDICARE DRUG PRICE NEGOTIATION PROGRAM
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allows Medicare the ability to directly negotiate the prices of certain prescriptions with the drug companies. This directly reduces drug prices, co-pays and co-insurance for Medicare programs. The first ten drugs negotiated are as follows: Eliquis: $231 negotiated price, down from $521 list price.Xarelto: $197 negotiated price, down from $517 list price.Januvia: $113 negotiated price, down from $527 list price.Jardiance: $197 negotiated price, down from $573 list price.Enbrel: $2,355 negotiated price, down from $7,106 list price.Imbruvica: $9,319 negotiated price, down from $14,934 list price.Farxiga: $178 negotiated price, down from $556 list price.Entresto: $295 negotiated price, down from $628 list price.Stelara: $4,695 negotiated price, down from $13,836 list price.Fiasp and NovoLog: $119 negotiated price, down from $495 lis price. These negotiated prices are significantly reduced anywhere from 38% to 97% from previous years. Fifteen additional drugs are targeted for reduction in 2027. If you are utilizing any of the above prescriptions and have a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D plan you should see a reduction in your co-pay or co-insurance for that particular drug.
