Extreme summer heat can take a real toll on your health, and our team wants to help you stay safe as temperatures rise.

Here are a few simple ways to protect yourself during very hot days:
• Stay inside during the hottest part of the afternoon when you can.
• Drink water consistently, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
• Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing when outdoors.
• Use fans or air conditioning, or visit a cooling center if your home gets too warm.
• Keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea, confusion, or headache.
• Be mindful of certain medications that can hinder your body's ability to regulate temperate or accelerate dehydration (diuretics, antihistamines, antidepressants, blood pressure, heart medications and stimulants).

These small habits can make a big difference in preventing heat-related illness. If you’re unsure how extreme heat might impact your medications or overall health, it’s always a good idea to check in with your doctor.

And if you’d like to review your current health coverage or explore options like hospital indemnity, dental plans, or other supplemental products, our team at Health Matters Insurance is always here to help. Call us anytime at 636-849-1004.

With summer travel ramping up, we’re sharing a few reminders about how Medicare coverage works when you’re away from home.

A lot of people assume their benefits travel with them everywhere, but that’s not always true. Your coverage can depend on your specific Medicare plan, the providers you see, and the rules of your network. In some cases, geography plays a role in what’s covered and what you may owe if you need care on the road.

A little preparation before your trip can make a big difference. Reviewing your plan ahead of time can help you avoid surprises and feel more confident as you travel.

If you want help double-checking your Medicare plan before heading out for summer travel, our team at Health Matters Insurance is always here to walk you through the details. Give us a call at 636-849-1004 and we’ll get you ready for the road ahead.
