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.

by mail, or register your screening results directly
