Hello from Dr. Ramos: Make the most of autumn
Dr. Ramos shares her favorite ways to stay healthy while enjoying this action-packed season.
Now that the season of leaf-peeping and cider-sipping has kicked into high gear, you’re likely moving at a quicker pace and finding yourself with little free time on your hands.
But don’t let your commitments and social obligations prevent you from ending the year on a healthy high note by ensuring you’re up to date on vaccines, scheduling preventive screenings, and filling or renewing your prescription medications.
The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan could be a good option, as it can provide peace of mind, since you pay nothing when you pick up your prescription or get your mail-order delivery. You can also break the total cost into monthly payments.
Another seasonal caveat: Stay hydrated even if you don’t feel as thirsty as in summer. Try infusing your water with citrus slices to make it taste more like a treat.
As always, thank you for being an Independence Blue Cross (IBX) member. We look forward to continuing to serve you.
