The importance of screening tests

Sometimes a person can look perfectly healthy on the outside but may have some worrying health problems happening on the inside, that they might not even be aware of. Most of these are easy to treat, but it's important that you know your health status, to get the right support and treatment if you need it.

The only way to keep a check on your health is to have regular health screenings. Detecting diseases early helps prevent severe illness and avoids expensive and debilitating.

LA Health offers you many important preventative health screenings and these are covered as part of your benefits, so you don't have to use your savings (if you have a Medical Savings Account on your benefit option). These tests can help identify potential health problems before they become serious and can even save lives. Regular screening tests can help uncover diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. It is important to have your screening tests done regularly so that any medical conditions you may have can be detected early, to ensure the best treatment outcomes for you.

You can find our wellness and preventative screening tests, in our Wellness Toolkit.
