How we stay up to date on the latest treatments and procedures
We quickly review the latest information about medical care so we can keep our policies up to date. Health care professionals review our medical, mental health and drug policies on a regular basis.
To help us decide if we need to change our policies, we use these resources:
- Professional medical publications and journals
- Policies and procedures from government agencies
- Study results showing the impact of new and existing technology, treatments, and procedures on long-term health
- Doctors, specialists, and other health care consultants
Each year, we review and may update our medical policies. We even make new ones to address new treatments and procedures — because helping you get and stay healthy is our number one goal.
