Take Control

Your health is your most important asset. Blue Cross and its affiliates, including BC Life & Health Insurance Company, helps put you in control of your health through affordable preventive care screenings that promote your physical well-being. Staying healthy supports an active and fulfilling lifestyle. 

Know Your Health
The Blue Cross Companies' HealthyCheck Program offers PPO and EPO plan members an annual preventive care screening that evaluates a variety of health risks. Screening results may confirm good health, identify where health may be improved, and may also reveal conditions that need further evaluation by your doctor.

Each HealthyCheck screening includes

  • your choice of two levels of screenings for adults,
  • a detailed, personalized health status report with recommendations for developing a healthier lifestyle, 
  • a variety of educational materials to help you achieve and maintain optimum health, and 
  • a summary of your results sent to your personal physician and available for you to take home immediately.

Keep A Record
You may elect to receive your detailed health status report by mail, or register your screening results directly on our designated website for an instant report. Access and update your personal health information on our website at any time and as often as you wish. Interactive features can help you keep track of your health status on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis.
