Getting Your Health Care Back on Track

Remember, you can also access telemedicine and telemental health care services through TelemyndDoctor On Demand or one of our other telehealth partners

  • Know your preventive care options. If you are due for a screening, you may qualify for a telemedicine visit or at-home laboratory testing. We offer disease management programs to help you stay on track!

  • Stay on the immunization schedule. Get covered immunizations, including your annual flu vaccine, from network doctors and pharmacies at no cost to you.

  • Do your part to improve your health. Now may be the perfect time to eat better, exercise regularly or quit smoking. Check out one of our wellness programs to get started.

  • Make mental health care a priority. Emotional health is key to overall health. Don’t ignore it! Telemental health care is available, and many mental health services do not require a referral.
