Preventive Care Is the Best Defense

August 27, 2026

Your health matters. Taking a few simple preventive steps today can help you stay healthy, catch issues early and avoid bigger health concerns in the future.

Schedule your preventive care.

Annual physicals, routine blood work and age-appropriate screenings can help detect potential health concerns before symptoms appear and when treatment is often more effective and less costly. Even if you feel healthy, preventive visits can help you stay on track and avoid unexpected health challenges down the road.

Stay up to date with recommended vaccinations.

Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect yourself, your family and your community against preventable illnesses. Talk with your health care provider about which vaccines are right for you and when you should receive them.

Your checkup is covered!

Your in-network preventive care is 100% covered by your RRD medical option. Make sure your provider codes the visit as routine/preventive care.

For more information about recommended screenings and vaccinations, review preventive care guidelines from BCBSIL and Kaiser.
