June is Men’s Health Month, and our team at A N Nunes Agency Inc is here to help you stay proactive about preventive care. Many important screenings are fully covered with your health insurance, making this the perfect time to encourage the men in your life to stay on top of their health.
Here are a few key screenings to keep in mind:
• Cholesterol checks: Recommended starting at age 17 and every four to six years to support long-term heart health.
• Diabetes screening: Begins at age 35 and repeated every three years, or earlier if risk factors like family history or weight concerns are present.
• Prostate cancer screening: Typically starts around age 50, but may begin earlier for individuals with higher risk.
• Colorectal cancer screening: Colonoscopies are recommended starting at age 45 for average-risk men and repeated every 10 years unless a doctor advises otherwise.
• Mental health screening: Can happen at any annual checkup and is an important opportunity to talk openly about anxiety, depression, or changes in mood.
Everyone’s health journey is different, and the right screenings can vary based on age, lifestyle, and personal history. We encourage you to connect with your provider to determine what’s best for you.
If you’re unsure what your health plan covers, our team is here to help you understand your benefits and take full advantage of them.
