July is UV Safety Month. As Floridians, it is important to know that skin cancers are caused by damage done by Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which comes from the sun and tanning beds. Just in 2019, 10.4% of Floridians were diagnosed with skin cancer.

Reduce your risk by using appropriate protection, adopting a healthy lifestyle and having regular skin screenings.

Skin screenings are considered preventative care and are covered by health insurance. All preferred provider organization plans and health maintenance organization plans cover skin screenings. 

Visit MyBenefits for more information regarding your health insurance plans and preventative screenings.
