Lack of 2020 Preventative Care
Results in Advanced Stages of Chronic Disease
1) Nationally, thousands of people were unable to get preventative care in 2020. As a result, doctors are warning advanced stages of cancer are emerging...read the full article!!!

  • Numerous studies demonstrate screenings for breast, colon, and cervical cancers were down 29-36% through mid-June 2020. It is anticipated hundreds of thousands of fewer screenings were done in 2020 and the healthcare system has still not caught up.
  • Concerns are not limited to cancer, the "ripple effects" will be seen across all chronic diseases including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, etc.
2) "Out of control" chronic diseases can turn into "high-cost" health insurance claims (the #1 cause of rising premiums), ESHCA encourages the use of annual preventative appointments to reduce the risk of high-cost claims. Consider scheduling the following preventative appointments for you and your family members in 2021:
  • Annual Physical ($0 copay)
  • Dental cleanings (100% of allowable rate)
  • Vision (100% allowable rate)
