The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and celebration. But it’s also a time when travel, stress, and cold weather can impact your health. Here are a few tips for staying covered and healthy this December:
- Keep your prescriptions filled.
If you’re traveling, make sure you have enough medication for your trip. Ask your pharmacy about 90-day refills or mail-order delivery. - Know your urgent care options.
During the holidays, doctor offices may have limited hours. Familiarize yourself with urgent care centers that are covered by your plan. This could save you from an unnecessary (and expensive) ER visit. - Get your flu shot (and other vaccines).
Winter illnesses can spread quickly at family gatherings. Many Medicare plans cover flu, COVID-19, and pneumonia vaccines at no cost to you. - Stay active.
Take advantage of any fitness perks your plan offers, such as SilverSneakers® or other wellness programs. Even a short daily walk can help boost your energy and reduce stress. - Eat smart.
Holiday treats are tempting, but balance them with healthy meals. Managing your nutrition is especially important for those with diabetes or heart conditions.
