You can also see your ANOC online at VivaHealth.com/Medicare/MemberResources. There’s a lot of information in your ANOC, but this videos walk you through the document to make sure you know what to look for. Keep in mind as we go through each section of the ANOC, that your plan’s ANOC may look a little different and may contain different section numbers.  

May Is Better Hearing Month

May is Better Hearing Month. When is the last time you had your hearing checked? You may not notice changes in your hearing right away, but it can make a big difference in your quality of life.

Alcohol Awareness Month

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. This month is dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of the causes and treatment of the nation’s #1 public health problem: alcoholism. Educating people about the treatment and prevention of alcoholism and alcohol abuse is important.

Seasonal Allergies

Living in the South, we know the warmer weather of spring also means seasonal allergies caused by pollen. Join Katy Collins, pharmacist and supervisor of clinical pharmacy with VIVA HEALTH, as she tells us how to treat seasonal allergies and avoid the most common triggers.

Telehealth and Technology

Technology makes getting the care you need safer, easier, and more convenient than ever. When your doctors can see your medical records, like your health history or drugs you’ve been prescribed, it helps them make smarter decisions about your treatment. Having a doctor’s appointment through your computer or phone saves you time, while still giving you the same high quality care you’d get if you saw your doctor in the office. The technology used in health care today is secure and private. Learn more by watching this video.
