Featured Health Article 2011 Preventive Screenings As the old adage goes…”An apple a day helps keep the doctor away” and so does keeping up to date with important immunizations and screenings. On an annual basis, Vale-U-Health provides to the enrollees Preventive Guidelines, which are based off general standards of care as well as the Center for Disease Control suggestions. According to the recent Enrollee Satisfaction Survey and our paid claims data, our members may be falling behind in receiving certain preventive screenings. Please pay particular attention to the following categories, and if you have not received your screening, please speak with your physician. * Women age 42 and older should have a mammogram (breast cancer) once every 1 to 2 years * Women age 21 and older should have a PAP test (cervical cancer) once every 1 to 3 years * Men age 51 and older should have a PSA test (prostate cancer) annually A little preventive maintenance can go a long way and also aid in the process of early detection and treatment.
