This checklist can help you stay healthy—for $0—with your BCBSRI Medicare Advantage plan.

1. See your PCP for an annual well visit.
$0 when you see an in-network provider

During this appointment, your primary care provider (PCP) will give you a physical exam, ask about your health since your last visit, and review your medications. If you’ve been experiencing any health issues—including depression or anxiety—write down your symptoms before your visit as well as any questions you have. Be sure to tell your PCP if you’ve fallen since your last visit and also ask how to reduce your risk of falls.

2. Ask your PCP about preventive screenings.
Often $0 when you see an in-network provider

Many types of cancer are "silent," meaning you'll have no symptoms until the disease has advanced and is harder to treat. These screenings can find diseases in earlier, more treatable stages and, in some cases, even help prevent them.

• Breast cancer (ages 40-74)
• Colorectal cancer (ages 45+)

3. Get help with ongoing health conditions.
$0 for help from a BCBSRI Care Manager

If diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems are not under control, they can lead to complications and even hospital stays. Talk to your PCP about how to best manage your health. You can also contact a BCBSRI Care Manager at 1-844-563-0892 or care@bcbsri.org for help achieving your health goals.

And if you have diabetes, you pay nothing for blood glucose meters and test strips when you use preferred partner OneTouch^®. You get even more $0 support for diabetes and/or hypertension management when you enroll in Teladoc Health^®.

4. Find help for mental health issues.
$0 for phone/video visits with in-network psychologists 

Treatment can make a tremendous difference for issues such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorder. For help finding a provider and other non-emergency issues, call the BCBSRI Behavioral Health Line at 1-800-274-2958. 

5. Exercise for 30 minutes most days of the week.
$0 gym membership, $0 home fitness accessories, $0 digital fitness classes, and more!

Regular exercise lowers your risk for depression, heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure, and much more.¹ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends spending two days each week on strength training, which can help with balance.²

With FitOn Health³, you have access to 13,000+ gyms, studios, and community centers as well as home fitness accessories, an exercise video library, and a nutrition program that includes meal plans and 500+ recipes. All at no cost to you!

6. Visit your dentist for a cleaning.
$0 if you have coverage through your BCBSRI Medicare Advantage plan or a Blue Cross Dental plan

If your teeth aren’t cleaned regularly, plaque and tartar can build up and lead to cavities, gum disease, or tooth loss. Gum disease may also make other problems, such as diabetes and heart disease, worse. To find a dentist, please log in to myBCBSRI.com. If you don’t have a dental plan, call 1-800-505-2583 (TTY:711). 

7. Have routine vision and hearing exams.
$0 copay at in-network providers

All of our plans feature $0 routine office visits and annual hearing exams (online or in-person) as well as a broad range of hearing aid options from top brands.⁵ For many plans, hearing aids start at $0.⁶
