Life is busy. Work is busy. Kids are busy. But none of that seems to matter when you are sick.

Here are a couple of things you can do to take care of yourself, your family and your pocketbook.

Flu season is here and Flu Vaccines are covered at 100% on all plans. This is also a great time to check with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) about other immunizations that you or family members may be due to receive. A list of immunizations that are covered at no cost to you are included in each plan contract posted on the Medical page of the OGI website.

Did you know Pediatric Vision is now covered at 100% on the PPO and Traditional plans (subject to deductible on the High Deductible plan) when using an in-network provider? Check out the Vision page of the OGI website for information or the Pediatric Vision Care Benefits page included in each plan contract posted on the Medical page.
