ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEALTH PLANS • 3 Preventive Care for Better Health At RMHP, we know life can get busy for our Members with work, family, volunteering, friends, and so much more. Despite hectic schedules, we encourage you to see your doctor regularly — even if you’re feeling well — to make sure you receive the recommended preventive care and screenings to help you take steps toward better health. There are some types of preventive services you should receive once a year: • Flu shot. • Wellness exam, including a blood pressure screening and height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). • Dental exam. An annual well-child exam is important for your child, too! This visit offers a chance to talk with your child’s doctor about normal growth and development, as well as how to keep your child healthy. A well-child exam includes a physical exam, BMI calculation, review and update of recommended immunizations, hearing and vision screenings, and more. As an adult, you may need additional preventive care and screenings, too, including cancer (colon, breast, or cervical), diabetes, cholesterol, osteoporosis, immunizations, and more. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any preventive care and screenings that may be right for you, and review your RMHP plan documents to learn more about how RMHP covers these services. Did you know? When health issues are found early through preventive screenings, they are most often easier to treat. Want to learn more?
