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.

Medicare Billing Updates Effective January 1, 2022
1/12/2022 • Posted by Provider Relations

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have released several billing changes and updates for various Medicare services that take effect on January 1, 2022. As a valued Wellcare By Fidelis Care provider partner, we want to make you aware of how these changes will impact your billing activities with us in 2022.

COVID-19 Vaccination Claims

  • Effective January 1, 2022, providers may submit Medicare claims for COVID-19 vaccines and their administration directly to Wellcare By Fidelis Care for payment.
  • Previously, COVID-19 vaccination claims were submitted directly to Medicare Fee-for-Service. For dates of service 1/1/22 and after, Wellcare By Fidelis Care will now process and adjudicate all COVID-19 vaccination claims for its Medicare members.
  • We will employ the reimbursement rates as they are established by CMS and our state regulators in accordance with provider contract terms for COVID-19 vaccine payments.

New/Modifications to the Place of Service (POS) Codes for Telehealth Services

  • Effective for dates of service January 1, 2022 and after, CMS is revising the description of POS code 02 and adding POS code 10 for telehealth services to meet the overall industry needs.
    • POS 02: Telehealth Provided Other than in Patient’s Home
      • Patient is not located in their home when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology.
    • POS 10: Telehealth Provided in Patient’s Home
      • Patient is located in their home (which is a location other than a hospital or other facility where the patient receives care in a private residence) when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology.
  • Claims adjudication for POS 10 will begin in January 2022 & Wellcare By Fidelis Care will adjust claims as needed.
  • For more information, please see CMS’ MLN Matters release.
