Taking Care of Your Health

Taking care of your health is a priority.  There are many things you can do to improve your health – your doctor will know best.  However, in some situations, there are also programs available by your managed care plan or where you work.

Wellness and prevention programs help maintain or improve your health.  Check with your doctor, employer and health plan to understand what is available to you under your health plan or at low cost.  Some examples are fitness memberships, stop-smoking programs and blood pressure checks.

If you have a medical condition like Diabetes, Heart Disease or Asthma, there may be programs called “Disease Management Programs.”   These programs have been developed specifically for those conditions and your doctor and managed care plan work together to make sure you are receiving the care need.
