Health Tip of the
Week
Top 10 Ways to Take Charge of Your Health and
Health Plan Services
1. Establish a relationship with a primary
care physician - before you need one. The more your doctor
knows about you, the better care you are likely to receive when you're ill. Be
honest and thorough in talking with your doctor about your health, your
lifestyle and your personal and family health history.
2. Ask questions. You have
the right to ask your doctor what a procedure involves, how much it costs and if
it's medically necessary. Ask whether equally effective, less costly
alternatives are available.
3. Learn how to practice
self-care. More than 80% of all health problems can be cared
for in the home. You should know how to recognize common health problems, what
to do when they occur, when and where to seek appropriate help, and how to
prevent health problems from recurring.
4. Check your Provider
Directory. Make your health care provider participates in the
network. It's a good idea to call the provider's office for verification.
5. Know your prescriptions.
Make sure you tell your doctor and pharmacist about all drugs prescribed to you,
so they will know if a new drug may have possible unfavorable interactions with
those you are taking.
6. Use the Emergency Room
for medical emergencies only. Emergency department care
is many times more costly than care provided in a doctors' office. However, if
you feel your health or life are in jeopardy, you should go to the ER
immediately.
7. Learn about your illness.
Ask your physician for information about special diets or physical activities
that would be helpful. If you are on medications, ask about possible side
effects.
8. Carefully read your Certificate of Coverage
and Summary of Covered Benefits. Know and understand your
healthcare benefits. If you're not sure a service or procedure is covered,
refer to your benefits materials or call member services.
9. Review bills carefully. If
you're in the hospital, have a friend or family member keep track of your tests,
medications and supplies you use - or do it yourself if you feel up to it.
After you leave the hospital, ask for an itemized bill and compare the charges
with your records.
10. Live a healthy lifestyle.
Eat a sensible diet; wear your seat belt; obtain recommended preventive care;
perform monthly breast or testicular self-exams; get enough sleep; don't smoke;
exercise at least three times a week and if you drink alcoholic beverages, do so
in moderation.
