Schedule Your Wellness Visit Now, Stay Healthier All Year Making time for your yearly appointment makes a difference in the months ahead
Spring is a time of renewal – a great time to focus on your health and to schedule your annual wellness visit with your primary care provider (PCP). A yearly checkup can catch small problems early so you’ll stay healthier as time goes by. It’s also a good opportunity to have a talk with your PCP and ask questions about your health. This visit is available at no cost to you . What to bring with you: Your Fidelis Care member ID card A list of medications you take (or the bottles themselves) Notes about any symptoms, concerns, or changes in your health you want to talk about
Been to the hospital? When you must go to a hospital, your PCP needs to know so they can care for you afterward. Be sure to let them know right away.

Protect Your Family from Lead Poisoning If you live in an older home, take these steps to stay healthy Lead poisoning can be serious, especially for children under age 6 and pregnant people. Lead is often found in older homes, in peeling paint and household dust. Ways to prevent contact with lead • Keep children away from peeling or chipping paint • Wash children’s hands and toys often
• Clean floors, window sills, and other dusty surfaces with soap and water • Use cold tap water for drinking, cooking, and mixing baby formula Get children tested
Children should be tested for lead at ages 1 and 2, and other times depending on your living situation, even if they seem healthy. Your child’s healthcare provider can use a simple blood test to find lead early, before it causes harm. Have questions? If you have questions about lead testing, your child’s health, or concerns about your home, talk with your child’s healthcare provider or call us for support: 1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547), TTY: 711.
