2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines now available

December 1, 2015

[

We recently posted the 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines, which replaces the previous version. The goal of these guidelines is to provide members with a user-friendly version of evidenced-based wellness recommendations for the average-risk person. These recommendations are not a statement of benefits and some of these services may require cost-sharing.

The 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines have been revised so the recommendations more appropriately meet the needs of the following individual age groups:

  • Pediatric guidelines (ages birth to 17)
  • Adult guidelines ages 18 ? 64
  • Adult guidelines ages 65 and older
We encourage you to review these recommendations with your Independence patients to determine which screenings would be appropriate based on specific patient medical and psychosocial needs.

The guidelines are updated annually based on changes made to nationally recognized sources. Changes are reviewed by internal and external consultants, as appropriate, and by the Independence Quality Committee, which is comprised of network physicians.

Access the 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines on our website. Paper copies can be ordered by submitting an online request or by calling the Provider Supply Line at 1-800-858-4728.
