Fall is more than just cooler weather and changing leaves, it’s also the start of cold and flu season. That makes it the ideal time to focus on your health and take advantage of preventative care options that can help you stay ahead.
By addressing your health through regular check-ups, screenings, and smart coverage choices, you can avoid potential health issues and make the most of your benefits. And with GEA’s comprehensive insurance offerings, including dental, vision, and the TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan, you’ve got the tools to do just that.
What You Can Do This Season
Here are a few smart health moves to make this fall:
- Get Your Flu Shot Early
Flu season typically peaks between December and February, so getting vaccinated in the fall offers the best protection. Most GEA health plans cover flu shots at no cost.
- Schedule a Physical or Wellness Visit
A quick check-up can help you catch potential issues early and track your health over time. These visits are often fully covered through your GEA plan.
- Use Your Dental & Vision Benefits
Preventative care includes more than your primary care doctor. GEA’s dental and vision plans cover cleanings, exams, and screenings that can catch problems early. Don’t let unused benefits go to waste before the year ends.
- Consider the TRICARE Supplement
If you or your family uses TRICARE, the TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan through GEA can help pay for out-of-pocket costs like co-pays and deductibles. It’s a valuable resource that ensures you can afford preventative care and avoid surprise medical bills.
- Check in on Mental Health
The change in season and shorter daylight hours can affect mood and energy. Many insurance plans offer access to mental health support, which can make a big difference during this time of year.
Stay Ahead This Fall
Taking a little time now to focus on your health can pay off all season long. Whether it’s a flu shot, a routine check-up, or exploring additional coverage, GEA has your back.
Stay well, stay proactive, and make this fall your healthiest yet.
