Take a health screening survey
Take a health screening survey
We call every new member for a health screening survey. During this call, we’ll ask you some health questions. Why take part in the survey? This will help our care management team understand your health needs. They can then design a personal care plan and get you the services you need. They’ll also share the info with your doctor so they can work together to help you stay well.
The survey is easy, and your answers are private. If you have questions, just call 1-855-221-5656 (TTY: 711).
