Watch my inbox for unpaid invoices. Show each one to me, and pay it once I approve.

- Investigate a mystery charge before I dispute it When a charge or bill I don't recognize shows up, dig through my email, accounts, and records to figure out what it is before I dispute or pay it.
- It's open enrollment and I need to pick a plan. I'll share the plan documents or the summary page from my employer or marketplace. Compare the options side by side in plain words: monthly premium, deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, copays for common visits, prescription coverage, and whether my doctors are in network if I tell you who they are. Then ask me a few questions about how much care I expect next year and estimate my total yearly cost under each plan for a light year, a typical year, and a heavy year. Point out the deadline and anything I must actively re-select, like a health savings or flexible spending account. Don't enroll me in anything; just help me decide.
