Your summer wellness reset
Use this checklist to ensure your health stays on track all season.
You decided to take care of your health this year, and summer is the perfect time for a quick midyear check-in to ensure you’re on track with your appointments and health goals.
Preventive services that cost you $0
If you haven’t scheduled your no-cost Annual Wellness Visit, now’s the time, since it’s vital for staying healthy. Together, you and your provider can review your health history, check in on how you’re doing, and plan any preventative screenings (like a mammogram or colonoscopy). And don’t forget about your no-cost annual physical! This entails a hands-on examination to check on your health and get a full picture about how your body is functioning.
Earn rewards for self-care
Doing the right thing for your health is rewarding!1 You are eligible to redeem gift cards from popular retailers for completing healthy activities. It all starts with your annual wellness visit, which has a $100 reward. Learn more about other rewards at ibxmedicare.com/rewards.
Use your OTC benefit for everyday essentials
Save time and money with your IBX Care Card over-the-counter (OTC) allowance. Spend your quarterly OTC allowance2 at participating retailers on items like allergy medicine and first aid supplies. Maximize this benefit by using the remaining second quarterly balance on your card by June 30. Learn more at ibxmedicare.com/carecard.
Support when you need it most
You don’t have to go it alone. Our Registered Nurse Health Coaches and Case Managers provide an added level of support to help you stay healthy.3 Reach them at 1-855-332-3102 (TTY/TDD: 711) if, for example, you have health-related questions or need help managing chronic health conditions.
