Preventive care

As a Medicare Advantage member, many preventive services are included in your plan — from your annual wellness visit to many immunizations. Talk with your doctor to ask about the preventive services you should consider.

24-Hour nurse line

Calling our 24-hour nurse line allows you to talk with a registered nurse regarding any health concerns or questions you may have. Free to all members, you'll have access to health care around the clock.
