The benefits of an annual checkup

It’s covered by your Humana Plan! Take advantage of Humana preventive care benefits designed to help you lead a longer, healthier life.

  • The two parts of the annual checkup covered by your plan

    An Annual Wellness Visit: A 1-on-1 planning session to discuss your health and steps to take to maintain your well-being.

     

    A physical examination: Checkup, routine tests, medical history and ordering needed diagnostic procedures.

     

    *Ask your doctor if you can complete both in the same visit.

     

  • How your annual checkup can support your health

    Many health issues do not show early symptoms, and when detected early may be easier to treat.

     

    Discuss ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle, prevent falls, and manage bladder control.

     

    Help you focus on your mental and emotional health.

     

  • How your Annual Wellness Visit can reduce healthcare costs

    The Annual Wellness Visit included in your plan gives you and your doctor a chance to discuss your overall health goals.1

     

    On top of helping you on your wellness journey, it may also save you money on healthcare costs over the year.2

     

     

 

Your well-being is worth a conversation. Talk to your doctor about these important topics.

 

  •  

    Help prevent falls

    Falls are an increasing concern for us as we get older. Talk with your provider if you’ve fallen or have noticed changes to your walking and balance.

     

    Your doctor may suggest:

    • Using a cane or walker.
    • An exercise or physical therapy program.
    • A vision or hearing test.

     

  •  

    Bladder health

    Talk openly about changes in bladder control or urine leakage to give your doctor a complete picture of your well-being and ability to do daily activities.

     

    There are many ways to control or manage leaking urine, including bladder training exercises or medication. Help you focus on your mental and emotional health.

     

  •  

    Stay active

    In addition to the physical health benefits, movement can improve your emotional and mental well-being. Talk to your doctor about your activity level and ask about what you can do to maintain or improve your physical health.

Even if you aren’t concerned about these topics now, a conversation with your doctor about future prevention can be valuable.
