Do You Still Have Care Due for 2022

Don’t put needed care off until the new year. There’s still time to check things off your list and avoid the first-of-the-year rush for appointments and other care.

• Prescriptions: Be sure to put in your refill order with the pharmacy before you run out of your medications. And, ask if your prescription has refills left. If it doesn’t, you might need to see your doctor to get the prescription renewed.
• Doctors’ appointments: Schedule visits now before your doctor’s office starts getting more calls for last-minute appointments. You may be able to have a telehealth visit with your doctor from home.
• Screenings and tests: Are you due for a mammogram, diabetic eye exam or other important test? Call sooner rather than later to schedule; these appointments are often made several weeks out.
• Vaccines: Had your flu shot for this season yet? COVID-19 booster? Get them at your doctor’s office or pharmacy.
