Keep your health in check with the Flexicare Wellness screening benefit
How is your health today? When last did you and your family members get those all-important health screenings? With Flexicare, preventive screening has never been easier, more accessible, or convenient.
What is the Flexicare Wellness Screening benefit?
This benefit provides you with one wellness screening per year. It's available at network pharmacies or during designated wellness days every year.
As Flexicare, we care about your overall wellbeing, and that's why we're excited to remind you about our Wellness Screening benefit. As a valued Flexicare member, you have access to an essential health service that can make a significant impact on your overall health.
Here's what's included in your screening:
- Blood pressure measurement: High blood pressure is a silent threat that can lead to serious health conditions. Regular monitoring helps detect any abnormalities early on.
- Blood glucose (blood sugar) Test: It's essential to keep your blood sugar levels in check, especially if you're at risk for type 2 diabetes and even if you've already been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Our screening helps you stay informed about your glucose levels and how best to manage any applicable risk.
- Cholesterol check: Elevated cholesterol levels can contribute to heart disease. By tracking your cholesterol, you can take proactive steps to maintain heart health.
- Body mass index (BMI) assessment: Understanding your BMI helps you gauge whether your weight is within a healthy range. It's an essential tool for managing your overall health too as overweight and obesity pose serious health risks over time.
- HIV testing (optional): We've made it convenient for you to get an HIV test during your wellness screening. Early detection is vital for effective management and prevention.
Why should you prioritise wellness screening?
- Preventive care: Regular screenings allow you to catch health issues early. It also gives you the chance to prevent risk factors from escalating into more significant problems down the line. Health condition management tools can also be shared with you by the healthcare professional conducting your wellness screening.
- Empowerment: Taking charge of your health empowers you to make informed decisions. Knowledge is the first step toward better wellbeing.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your health status provides peace of mind. Whether your health status is normal or requires attention, you'll be equipped to take the most appropriate action to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
