Know Your Preventive Care Guidelines

Taking preventive steps to help avoid illness – or detect conditions early when they are most treatable – is an important line of defense against health problems.

UPS encourages you and your family members to get annual physicals, immunizations and recommended preventive tests as a way to stay healthy. Access the preventive care timeline or links below to review suggested preventive care services. Be sure to check your UPS-administered plan's summary plan description (SPD) for covered benefit information before scheduling a physician visit for a suggested preventive care service.

Video – It all starts with a visit to your doctor. Are You Ready for… The Appointment? This short video puts a new twist on an old problem: the doctor-patient relationship. Many people have fears of going to the doctor and either don’t know how to get the most out of their visit, or don’t remember to do so. This entertaining video can help you better understand how to work with your doctor, get the most out of each visit and stay on track with future appointments.

The first step in improving your health and staying healthy is through preventative care and getting the most out of your relationship with your doctor. Through our relationship with HealthMedia, UPS is proud to give you access to a brief and entertaining video, called The Appointment.
