Although most SISC plans provide coverage for preventive care, it is always a good idea to check your plan benefits before scheduling a preventive care appointment with your doctor.
2. Question: Why does SISC offer this program?
Answer: Research has shown that 70% of disease is preventable if health risks are reduced. When people are healthier, they are happier and more productive. So, if we can help district employees and their families reduce their health risks, we can slow the rate at which our health care costs increase, reduce absenteeism, and model healthy living in the workplace and the classroom. Health Smarts is designed to do all of those things.
