School’s on! And I’m going to play teacher for a minute!

You will be putting the final touches on school enrollment, supplies, contact information, health insurance, etc. As we approach the first day of school.

In that laundry list, there may be the need for an athletic physical (hopefully). If you haven’t had your son or daughter in this year for their FREE physical and wellness exam offered by your health insurance, you might be able to double dip. I am attaching a couple of items that I feel are very important. One of them I’ve shared before and it’s the immunization schedules and the second one is myWellmark mobile app.

On the My Wellmark mobile app, your son or daughter (who may be a college student, living elsewhere), can find providers wherever they are for any illnesses or injuries that may come up outside of your home network of providers. Don’t forget Wellmark has you covered nationwide. I also encourage you to know where you’re at with health insurance. If anybody is taking a study abroad trip, etc. Along those same lines are immunizations. Here is a preventive care link for you. You will find adult health maintenance guides as well as pediatric and pre-natal.
