Frequently Asked Questions
·       Don’t I have to wait a full year between appointments?  No, you get one screening per plan year (a plan year is January – December).  It is STRONGLY recommended that you get a State-sponsored health screening before August this year.
·       Can I register now for a health screening if my appointment is not until July?  Yes, absolutely, it is recommended to schedule appointments now no matter when between now and August you choose to go.  The appointment system is open starting in January of each year for ANYTIME during the year you want your appointment. 
·       I live or travel near a health center and want my health screening done there.  How do I make an appointment?  Those going to a health center may make an appointment for any day between now and August.  Make the appointment on the “health screening morning schedule.”
·       Why the rush?  Last year, we had many members who waited (for one reason or another) until the fall to get their health screening.  This resulted in problems for many of our members.  Plus this will give you time to do the other things you’ll need to do for a discount.  More on that soon!
