090825 ~ Knowing Where to Get Care Saves Costs - Andy Hetzel

September 8, 2025 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Andy Hetzel, VP of Corporate Communications for this week's A Healthier Michigan with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Andy explains that where you seek healthcare affects both wellness and finances. Emergency room visits can cost five times more than a regular doctor’s appointment. Andy also advises that for non-life-threatening situations, contacting your primary care physician first, especially if they participate in the patient-centered medical home program, can help lower costs.
