Managing Your Physical & Mental Health

Whether you’re focused on preventive care or looking for resources to manage your health conditions, Blue Advantage is here to help you maintain and improve your overall health. Below are just some of the resources available to you as a Blue Advantage member.

Your Physical Health Resources

Living with Diabetes

DO YOU USE DIABETIC TESTING SUPPLIES?

Your Blue Advantage plan covers self-monitoring blood glucose meters and test strips.

Hearing Loss

DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS OF HEARING LOSS

Have you noticed yourself having trouble hearing on the phone, turning up the volume on your TV too high or asking people to repeat themselves? These could be signs of hearing loss, so it’s important to get checked out.

Even if you aren’t experiencing any of these signs, you should still get a routine hearing exam each year.

Fall Prevention

DON’T LET FALLS TRIP YOU UP

Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in older adults? Small things can quickly become a serious hazard for seniors. That’s why it’s important to check your surroundings and reduce obvious dangers.

Most falls happen at home. To help prevent these falls, make a few small changes around the house:

  • Always have a clear walkway
  • Put all your belongings within arm’s reach
  • Make sure the lights in your house are bright enough for you to see clearly
  • Be mindful of pets by your feet
  • Watch out for wet floors
  • Wear properly fitted shoes or slippers
  • Secure rugs and avoid ladders

Another great way to prevent falls is to regularly visit your primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP can give you fall-prevention tips, plus talk to you about any concerns you have with your vision or balance.

Prevent the Flu

TAKE STEPS TO FIGHT THE FLU

Getting a flu shot is just one way to help you, your family and your friends stay healthy. As a Blue Advantage member, you can get your flu shot at a network pharmacy or from your primary care provider (PCP) at no cost, so call today to get scheduled.

Manage Your Blood Pressure

TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT STROKES

A stroke is caused by blocked blood flow to the brain. This can affect speech, movement and memory. Strokes can happen at any age, but your risk is higher if you’re over 65.

The good news is that up to 80% of strokes could be prevented by living a healthy lifestyle. Talk to your primary care provider about what you can do to avoid a stroke. Your annual wellness visit can be the perfect time to ask about steps to take to stay healthy.

Your Mental Health Resources

Caring for Your Mental Health

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Managing your overall health includes taking care of your emotional and mental well-being, too. And your Blue Advantage plan makes it easy to get online behavioral health care right from home.

With BlueCare for behavioral health, you can schedule an online visit with a psychology or psychiatry provider for a $40 copay to discuss depression, grief, stress, life transitions and more. You can also check your Evidence of Coverage for in-person mental and behavioral health benefits of your plan.
