Not Just for Emergencies: Everyday Health Benefits You Might Be Overlooking

Angle Health

When most people think about their health plan, they picture hospital visits, urgent care, or unexpected medical bills. But here’s the thing—your health plan isn’t just fore mergencies. In fact, many plans offer valuable everyday benefits that can make a real difference in your health and well-being.

From virtual care to mental health support and preventive services, there’s a lot your plan covers that you might not be taking full advantage of.Let’s break down some of the most underutilized benefits and how you can start making the most of them today.

‍

Virtual Care: Skip the Waiting Room

Have a weird rash? Feeling under the weather? Need a quick prescription refill? Virtual care lets you skip the waiting rooms and the hassle and connect with a doctor from the comfort of your couch.

Many health plans, including Angle Health, offer 24/7 access to virtual providers for general health concerns, follow-ups, and even prescription management. It’s a fast, easy, and cost-effective way to get the care you need without rearranging your entire day.

Check your health plan’s app or member portal to see how to schedule a virtual visit.

Mental Health Support: More Than Just Therapy

Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, or simply need someone to talk to, your health plan likely includes mental health benefits—and they go beyond traditional therapy.

Many plans offer:

· Virtual therapy sessions (often covered or at a reduced cost)

· Stress management programs

· Meditation and mindfulness apps

· Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) with free counseling sessions

Check your plan’s mental health coverage and explore available resources—your mind will thank you.

Preventive Care: Stay Ahead of Health Issues

You don’t have to wait until you’re sick to use your health benefits. Most plans cover preventive care at no extra cost, including:

· Annual check-ups

· Vaccines (like flu shots and COVID boosters)

· Routine blood work

· Cancer screenings (such as mammograms and colonoscopies)

‍

Regular preventive care helps catch potential health issues early before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.

Schedule your annual wellness visit today and ask your doctor about recommended screenings for your age group.
