Preventive Care Gives You Power
Routine checkups can help you make informed decisions about your health instead of reactive ones. Save time and money by staying up to date on your care.
Early Detection Puts You in Charge
Preventive care isn’t just about avoiding getting sick. When you receive age- and gender-specific screenings, you stay ahead of potential health issues.
Use your preventive care benefits through your medical plan to give “future you” more clarity!
Get a Primary Care Physician and Stay In-Network
Do you have a primary care physician (PCP)? If not, it may be time to choose one for your routine care needs. When you develop a relationship with a PCP, you have a partner to help you make important decisions about your health and wellbeing.
Staying consistent with your PCP appointments, like your annual physical, will help you monitor changes year after year and set health goals.
Remember: You’ll always pay less to receive care from vetted providers that meet BCBSIL standards.
Understand Which Screenings are Right for You
Age- and gender-specific screenings are a proactive way to protect your health, use your benefits fully and plan for a healthier future.
Health risks don’t affect everyone equally, so work with your PCP to determine which screenings are right for you based on your age, gender and health history.
These screenings are designed to catch problems early when they’re most treatable based on what research shows is most likely to impact people at certain stages of life.
Preventive Care is 100% Covered
Bottom line—if you skip your preventive care, you’re leaving money on the table. You already pay for your medical plan, so why not use it to its full advantage?
Preventive care includes:
- Annual physical exam
- Lab work
- Routine immunizations
- Screenings
- Other services intended to prevent illness or detect problems before you notice any symptoms
Preventive care is also practical—it helps you avoid large medical bills and scrambling for care in the future.
