June is Men’s Health Month, and our team at My Family Life Insurance is encouraging men and their families to take advantage of preventive screenings included with many health and supplemental health insurance plans. Early detection can make a major difference, and knowing when to schedule key screenings is an important part of staying healthy.
Here are a few important screenings to keep on your radar:
• Cholesterol checks starting at age 17, every four to six years
• Diabetes screenings beginning at age 35, or earlier if risk factors are present
• Prostate cancer screenings around age 50, or sooner for higher‑risk individuals
• Colorectal cancer screenings starting at age 45, typically every 10 years
• Mental health screenings during routine checkups at any age
Every health journey is personal, and the right timing depends on your history, risks, and lifestyle. Talking with your doctor is the best way to understand which screenings fit your needs.
If you’re unsure what your health or supplemental health coverage includes, we’re here to help you make sense of your benefits. Reach out anytime at (800) 645-9841.
