Now that you have Marketplace insurance coverage, understand what you can do now to stay healthy and get the medical care you need:
Directions for Staying Healthy:
- Make time for exercise, relaxation, healthy eating, and sleep.
- Take advantage of the preventive services that are appropriate for you.
- Remember to schedule follow-up appointments. Request your provider to notify you in advance when recommended health screenings will take place.
- If you have any concerns or questions in-between visits, just contact your provider. It’s their responsibility to assist you in answering any questions you might have about your health conditions.
Suggestions for Getting Proper Medical Care:
- You can get health services in a variety of settings, including the emergency unit. However, routine medical care and recommended preventive treatments should be obtained from a primary care doctor. They will collaborate with you to ensure you receive the appropriate services, manage chronic conditions, and improve your overall health and well-being.
- Typically, primary care providers can be found in clinics, offices, and health centers.
- Some providers and facilities do not accept all insurance plans or types of coverage. Call the department ahead of time to ensure that they take your health insurance.
