The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says, “Getting preventive care reduces the risk for diseases, disabilities, and death — yet millions of people in the United States don’t get recommended preventive health care services.” It can be easy for patients to forgo important health screenings. Common barriers include being unable to take time from work and home, transportation issues, cost of care, not having a primary care provider, and fear. Many people may have avoided routine medical care in the past year for fear of contracting COVID-19. 2022 brings with it the opportunity to start fresh, take health seriously, and encourage your patients to prioritize themselves by getting the required health screenings and tests for their age group.
EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare have resources to help keep you and your patients on track. Encourage your patients to prioritize their health by getting the required health screenings and tests for their age group—including dental visits—as part of their annual wellness checkups.
