June is Men’s Health Month, and our team at The Advantage Insurance Agency is encouraging men and the people who care about them to stay on top of preventive screenings included in their health coverage. Early detection can make a major difference in long-term health.
Here are key screenings and when they typically begin:
• Cholesterol checks: Start at 17 and repeat every 4–6 years
• Diabetes screening: Begin at 35, every 3 years after (earlier with risk factors)
• Prostate cancer screening: Usually recommended around 50, or sooner for higher‑risk individuals
• Colorectal cancer screening: Begin at 45 and repeat every 10 years, depending on your doctor’s guidance
• General mental health screening: Included in annual wellness visits at any age
Every health journey is unique, so it’s important to talk with your provider about what’s right for your age and risk factors.
If you’re unsure what your coverage includes or how to maximize your benefits, our team is here to guide you. Reach out anytime.
