Why It Matters
Preventive care helps reduce the risk of serious illness, lowers long-term healthcare costs, and supports your overall wellbeing. When you’re healthy, you’re more focused, more productive, and better able to enjoy life.
Take Charge of Your Health
Schedule your annual physical.
Even if you feel healthy, a yearly checkup helps catch potential issues early. It’s a chance to talk with your doctor about your health goals, ask questions, and get personalized advice. And all Hitachi medical plans cover annual exams 100%.
Stay up to date on screenings.
Depending on your age and risk factors, your provider may recommend screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or certain cancers. These tests can detect problems before symptoms appear.
Get vaccinated.
Vaccines aren’t just for kids. Staying current on flu shots and other adult vaccines helps protect you and those around you.
Use your HSA or FSA.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use those funds for eligible preventive care expenses. It’s a smart way to save money while staying healthy.
Take advantage of well-being resources.
Don’t forget that you have a range of wellbeing resources available to you, including WellPerk, weight-loss assistance, and smoking-cessation resources. Learn more about wellness programs and benefits.
