Premera sent an informational mailer to members regarding high blood pressure to encourage them to learn more about blood pressure and to visit their doctor if they have not checked their blood pressure in the last year. The mailers were sent at the end of November.
Members with high blood pressure ages 18-34 received this mailer, as well as members of all ages with high blood pressure in Yakima County and the municipality of Anchorage.
The mailer includes several steps members can take to help manage their high blood pressure. It also includes a QR code and URL that directs members to information available through the HealthWise High Blood Pressure page.
We are encouraging members to visit the website to learn more about the risks of high blood pressure and how to manage it. If members have not had their blood pressure checked in the last year or do not know their blood pressure rate, we also encourage them to make an appointment to see their doctor.
