We all know that it is important to change the oil, check the tires, and get regular maintenance on our cars to avoid running into problems down the road. The same sort of regular review is also necessary when it comes to your Benefits.

While enrolling in your benefits is a top priority, so is ensuring that your benefits engine is working correctly.

•ensuring the birthdates and social security numbers of your dependents and beneficiaries are correct,

•assigning beneficiaries for your 401(k), CareStock, and life benefits,

•and analyzing your Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), so that you can elect the best contribution amount into those plans.

Caremark has partnered with Subimo to bring employees the Coverage Advisor, a decision support tool. The Coverage Advisor is an easy-to-use online tool that helps you make better decisions for better health. While the basic plan design information for each medical option is clearly summarized in the Benefits Guide, there is so much more to consider when choosing a medical plan. That's where the UBIMO Coverage Advisor Tool comes in handy. This tool takes into account your and your family's estimated health care costs based on information you input, and help you determine which coverage option is best for you.
