EOCCO benefits and services

Studies show the more you are involved with your health, the happier you are with your care. Regular doctor visits, vaccinations, tests, and dental exams support good physical and mental health.

As a partner in your journey to better health, we are here to answer any questions about your health plan and help you get the care you need.

Here are a few things to consider:

Choose a doctor and dentist. Making sure you have a primary care provider (PCP) and dentist that you can maintain an ongoing relationship with is important for your overall health.
Schedule yearly checkups. These visits may include talking to your doctor about important topics such as annual exams and screenings, family planning, healthy aging, exercise and managing stress.
Have regular dental checkups. The health of your mouth impacts your overall health. This is why good oral health is important. Regular checkups may include a cleaning, sealants, fluoride and X-rays.
Get a referral from your PCP. You must have a referral from your PCP in order to see most specialists (e.g., dermatologist, cardiologist, ENT, oncologist)
