Health and Wellness Programs

We offer health and wellness benefits to all iCare members. It is iCare's goal to improve the health and well being of its members. We currently offer the following:

Family Planning Services

We provide private family planning benefits to all members. If you do not want to talk to your Primacy Care Provider (PCP) about family planning, call your Care Coordinator. He or she will help you choose an iCare family planning provider who is different from your PCP.

Use your Forward Card - You can also go to any family planning clinic that will accept your Forward ID card, even if the clinic is not affiliated with iCare. But we encourage you to receive family planning services from an iCare network doctor. That way we can better coordinate all your health care needs.

Pregnancy

We have several doctors in our network who specialize in OB/GYN. See your primary care doctor or an OB/GYN for checkups throughout your pregnancy.

When it is time to have your baby, you must go to an iCare network hospital. Talk to your doctor to make sure you understand which hospital you are to go to when it is time to have your baby.

Planning on Traveling?

Also, talk to your doctor if you plan to travel in your last month of pregnancy. We want you to have a healthy birth and a good birthing experience. Your doctor knows your history and is the best person to help you with a healthy birth. Do not go out of area to have your baby unless you have your doctor's permission.

Routine Prevention Programs

Flu Immune Programs

Each fall iCare works with the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) and your doctor to help you get a flu shot. Talk to your Care Coordinator at 1-800-777-4376 (TTY 1-800-947-3529) to see how you can get a flu shot this fall.

Mammography Program

Independent Care and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that female members 40 years of age and older have a mammogram each year. A mammogram is a great way to detect breast cancer early. Talk to your Care Coordinator at 1-800-777-4376 (TTY 1-800-947-3529) to learn more.

HealthCheck

HealthCheck is a preventive health checkup program for enrollees under the age of 21. The HealthCheck program covers complete health checkups. These checkups are very important for those under the age of 21. The doctor wants to see those under the age of 21 for regular checkups, not just when they are sick. The HealthCheck program has three purposes:

  • To find and treat health problems for those under the age of 21.
  • To let you know about special health services for those under the age of 21
  • To make those under the age of 21 eligible for some health care not otherwise covered.

The HealthCheck program covers the medical care for health problems found during the checkup including medical care, eye care, and dental care. The HealthCheck checkup includes:

  • Health and developmental history (including anticipatory guidance).
  • Unclothed physical examination.
  • Vision screening.
  • Hearing screening.
  • Dental screening.
  • Immunizations appropriate for age (shots).
  • Blood and urine lab tests (including blood lead level testing when appropriate for age).

Independent Care Health Plan will help arrange for transportation for HealthCheck visits for Medicaid SSI members. Call our Member Services Department at 1-800-777-4376 (TTY 1-800-947-3529). To schedule a HealthCheck exam or for more information, call our Member Services Department at 1-800-777-4376 (TTY 1-800-947-3529).
