Helping you be healthy -- and stay healthy!

Healthy You! is your first step in taking ownership of your health!

Our innovative and unique Healthy You! wellness benefit is the first step in helping you take ownership of your health. Healthy You! provides you and covered dependents with an annual wellness visit with your Network Provider. For underwritten individual members and groups, this wellness visit is paid at 100% - you pay no copay, deductible or coinsurance when you use a Network Provider. Some self-funded group members pay a specific copay amount, and some do not have the Healthy You! benefit. We encourage all our members to take advantage of this wellness benefit.

Healthy You! covers annual health screenings and immunizations based on your age and gender, and can help you identify potential health risks before they become serious. These screenings are designed to help you "know your numbers" for blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and weight, and to help you manage your health and health risks.

How can Healthy You! help me manage my health?

Read the information about "important numbers" on pages 3-5 of the Healthy You! Wellness Guide and determine what your healthy numbers should be.

Familiarize yourself with the covered wellness screenings on pages 6-7 and the immunizations on pages 8-9 so you will know what services will be covered at your Healthy You! visit. You should share this information with your Network Provider to ensure all covered services are provided.

Schedule your Healthy You! visit with a Network Provider for you and any covered dependents. Identify yourself as a Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi member and let your Provider know this is a Healthy You! visit.

Use the health tracker on page 10 to write down questions before your visit, and write in your numbers at your visit. Take this page with you to your Healthy You! visit. Ask questions about your numbers, your health risks and what you can do to improve your health.

Write your Healthy You! Lifestyle Plan on pages 11-12 for yourself and for other family members. Take time with your Network Provider during your visit to list these simple steps you are going to take to be healthy -- and stay healthy.
