May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month! The sun is finally starting to shine—remember to put on your SPF 30 or higher whether you’re on the job or out in the yard! Did you know that annual skin cancer screenings, as well as many other preventative wellness screenings, can earn you $50 each year? If you have Met Life’s Cancer or Critical Illness voluntary insurance and take a qualified screening, you can submit a Wellness Claim to receive your benefit. Wellness Benefit Claim forms and a list of qualified screenings can be found on the ISC Associate Portal in Library Docs under the Benefits Policy Information and Documents section.

May is also National Stroke Awareness Month. Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States*. When a stroke happens, it’s time to BE FAST! These are the signs that can identify a stroke. If you or someone around you exhibits these signs, call 911 immediately!

National Men’s Health Awareness Month is in June! Getting annual preventative screenings is important for your health and can help with early detection of many diseases and cancers. Most health insurance plans, including ISC’s health insurance plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield, will cover Annual Preventative Wellness visits 100% (including annual skin cancer screenings, prostate screenings, and colonoscopies, among others). Remember to schedule your annual preventative visits with your doctors today!
