Preventive Care

UnitedHealthcare launched a Preventive Care web-based tool (www.uhcpreventivecare.com) that provides age- and gender-specific preventive-care recommendations that enable people to better manage their health. Users can set e-mail reminders for any of their recommended preventive screenings or immunizations and, working with their doctors, use this knowledge to make informed medical decisions. They can view, print and e-mail specific preventive-health guidelines and access useful tips, tools, resources and materials to support their overall health. The tool is completely mobile-enabled for use on Blackberry, iPhone and iPhone devices, among others. This is a wonderful resource for anyone to use, regardless if they have coverage through UHC or not.
