Preventive Health Guidelines

Health promotion and disease prevention is our best opportunity to reduce the ever-increasing portion of resources spent to treat preventable illnesses and impairments that could have been prevented. As a health plan we would not be doing our jobs if we did not educate our members on how to cut health care costs, prevent premature onset of disease and disability, and to help all people achieve healthier, more productive lives. Preventive Health Guidelines are age-specific and describe prevention or early detection interventions and recommended frequency and conditions under which the interventions are required. Appropriate practitioners are involved in the development of preventive health guidelines (i.e., practitioners who are from specialties that would use the guidelines). Members of Sanford Health Plan are encouraged to utilize preventive health services, health education and health promotion by publicizing preventive health services, educational classes, and other articles on prevention by special mailings or in the Member and Provider Newsletters.
