Now, more than ever, the way we manage our health is vitally important. Though it’s important to go to the doctor when we need to, it’s also necessary to go in for routine checkups. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says regular health exams can identify problems before they start.
Health Testing Centers looked into a 2019 report by the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and found some surprising results about just how often Americans are going for health checks.
They found that for those making less than $15,000 dollars a year, 21% said they have “never” been insured. On March 10, health insurance companies announced they would be waiving costs and copays for COVID-19 patients, offering relief to Americans worried they wouldn’t be able to afford coronavirus testing and/or treatment.
We encourage our members to use their health benefits and visit their primary care doctor for regular checkups, diagnostics, and other preventive treatment. People must proactively manage their health for better health.
