Florida Health Insurance Has New Ways To Keep You Healthy

Author : Wiley Long


         


As a Florida resident, you can choose from many Health Insurance Plans to get the right coverage for your individual or family needs. Several of these providers are offering innovative programs to help protect your health.

Aetna and Anthem Offer Mail-order Prescription Medications

Two the largest providers of Health Insurance for Florida - Aetna and Anthem - are offering at-home delivery for many of the most popular medications, including maintenance medications that are used to treat diabetes and heart disease. Their members can receive 30-, 60-, and 90-day prescriptions for many commonly used medications.

Members who enroll in mail-order prescription programs may also receive a discount for the first time they fill a prescription. Programs also offer coupons, free shipping, and other perks to make filling prescriptions more convenient. Some programs even offer reminders when it's time to refill a prescription.

Anthem Offers Members Full Coverage for H1N1 Vaccination

As a major provider of Florida Health Insurance Plans, Anthem is providing full coverage for H1N1 vaccination for its members. On its Website, Anthem has stated that it is offering the no-cost vaccination coverage to support public health agencies, including the Center for Disease Control, in efforts to stop the spread of H1N1.

Members can receive the vaccination either by injection or spray. To make the cost of vaccination free to members, Anthem is waiving any coinsurance, co-pays, and deductible associated with the vaccination, including a doctor's office co-pay. To receive the free vaccination, members must obtain it from a participating provider.

Fully-insured members can also take advantage of low-cost flu-related treatments, such as Relenza and Tamiflu.

Anthem Partners with WebMD to Offer Online Health Assessment

In addition, Anthem has also partnered with a leading online resource for health-related information - WebMD - to provide members with helpful tools to assess their own health through the MyHealth@Anthem online portal.

These tools are interactive to help members assess their overall health with a blood alcohol estimator, body fat calculator, body mass index calculator, ideal weight calculator, interactive personal trainer, nutrition toolbox, sleep disorder assessment tool, smoking cost calculator, and target heart rate calculator. The online tools are designed to help members understand their current health, and take steps to improve their own well being.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Launches Physician Recognition Program

Leading Florida Health Insurance provider - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida -has launched a program to recognize high-quality healthcare providers in Florida. The Recognizing Physician Excellence program is designed to reward physicians for providing high-quality care and service.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield has opened up this program up to many different healthcare providers, such as family practice, general practice, geriatrics, gynecology, internal medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics physicians who participate in the NetworkBlue health insurance program.

NetworkBlue is for all BlueOptions PPO point-of-service Florida health insurance plans. More than 4,000 Florida physicians participated in the NetworkBlue program in 2008. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida serves more than 8.3 million members across the state.

Metcare Changes to Electronic Medical Records to Reduce Error Rates

Another leading provider of Health Insurance in Florida - Metcare - is switching to well-maintained electronic medical records, which can provide lower error rates, and greater efficacy. This change can decrease duplication of diagnostic tests throughout Florida healthcare facilities.

The new electronic system will also help to eliminate the need to check with health insurance providers to get medical records. When the electronic system is in place, Metcare members will no longer need to worry about the safety of their records only being stored in one provider's office.

These providers of Health Insurance for Florida are among many that strengthen Florida Health Insurance Plans with additional benefits and greater value. Expert advisors with years of experience working with these plans can answer your questions, and help you get the coverage that best fits your needs. Learn how you can get the most for your money now so you'll have the right coverage when you need it!
