Know Your Health
The Blue Cross Companies' Healthy Check Program offers PPO
and EPO plan members an annual preventive care screening
that evaluates a variety of health risks. Screening results
may confirm good health, identify where health may be improved,
and may also reveal conditions that need further evaluation
by your doctor.
Each Healthy Check screening includes
- your choice of two levels of screenings for adults,
- a detailed, personalized health status report with
recommendations for developing a healthier lifestyle,
- a variety of educational materials to help you achieve
and maintain optimum health, and
- a summary of your results sent to your personal physician
and available for you to take home immediately.
Keep A Record
You may elect to receive your detailed health status report
by mail, or register your screening results directly on
our designated web site for an instant report. Access and
update your personal health information on our web site
