Women’s Health

Staying healthy and well is one of the most important things women can do for themselves and for their loved ones, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some ways women can put their health first:

 

Stay Active

Regular exercise can help women boost their mood, maintain a healthy weight, and improve sleep. It also lowers risk for heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Women should speak with their doctor about what type of exercise is right for them.

Eat Healthy
Eating healthy can help women improve their health and prevent diseases. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Avoid having too much sodium, sugar, cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats.
Get Regular Checkups
Regular checkups and wellness exams help women increase their chances of living a longer, healthier life. Women should check with their primary care provider about the care and screenings they need, and whether they should schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment.

Follow Recommended Screenings

Maintain Healthy Levels
A well-rounded diet and regular exercise can help keep women’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar at healthy levels. Women should talk to their primary care provider or heart specialist about safely reducing their risk and setting goals for a healthier heart.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking or using tobacco products greatly increases women’s risk of heart disease. Women who want to quit should speak to their primary care provider for help and to see if there are medications or nicotine replacement products that are right for them. Non-smokers who have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol also have a greater risk of developing heart disease when they’re exposed to secondhand smoke.

Changes to Fidelis Care Essential Plan Coverage
5/28/2021 • Posted by Fidelis Care

Starting June 1, 2021, there will be no monthly premium for Essential Plan coverage and all Essential Plan members will have dental and vision benefits with no premium or cost sharing for covered services. This is due to a recent change in New York State law.

Here’s what these changes mean for Essential Plan members.

  • All Essential Plan premiums will be eliminated as of June 1, 2021. Starting June 1, 2021, there is no longer a monthly premium for Essential Plan coverage.
  • Essential Plan members with dental and vision coverage through Fidelis Care will no longer need to pay a monthly premium for dental and vision coverage starting June 1, 2021. Also, Essential Plan members will no longer have to make any copayments or coinsurance when they receive a covered dental or vision care service from a network provider. This will happen automatically. Essential Plan members do not need to take any action.
  • Essential Plan members who currently do not have dental and vision coverage through Fidelis Care will automatically receive dental and vision coverage starting June 1, 2021 at no cost to you. Also, Essential Plan members will not have any copayments or coinsurance when they get a covered dental or vision care service from a network provider.

The covered dental and vision benefits can be viewed at fideliscare.org/member-resources.

Our plan’s network of dental and vision providers is available at fideliscare.org/find-a-doctor. Essential Plan members will use their existing card for dental and vision benefits.
