2015 Wellness Guide

Tufts Medicare Preferred HMO members

As part of our commitment to providing members with the information they need to lead a healthy lifestyle, all Tufts Medicare Preferred HMO members were recently mailed a 2015 Wellness Guide. The 56-page guide was created to help make it easier for members to know how to use their plan to stay healthy. It includes articles and plan information on a number of topics, including the following:

• Preventive health screenings
• Exercise
• Preventing falls
• Spotting depression
• Treating bladder control issues
• Managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension

The 2015 Wellness Guide also includes a special “Doctor Visit Book” that members can use to list their medications and any questions they have before seeing their doctor. The Doctor Visit Book aims to increase members' satisfaction with their appointments by helping them better prepare for visits with their doctor. It assists doctors as well by providing a convenient way to identify patient concerns and information.
