Your Health and Welfare coverage includes vital cancer screenings – schedule your screenings today
All of our covered members – Laborers and their families – are entitled to recommended cancer screenings, giving you access to life-saving preventive care.
Regular screenings are one of the most effective ways to catch cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
Here are the top four cancers where screenings can make a difference:
- Breast Cancer: Mammograms are recommended for women of average risk starting at age 40.
- Colorectal Cancer: Colonoscopies or stool tests are vital for individuals starting at age 45.
- Lung Cancer: Low-dose CT scans are recommended for anyone over the age of 50 with a history of cigarette smoking.
- Cervical Cancer: Pap tests and HPV screenings help detect precancerous changes.
Depending on your family history or risk profile, there may be other cancers you may want to talk to your provider about screenings for.
We encourage you to find a primary care provider that works for you and your schedule. MyCigna.com makes it easy and has an extensive network of qualified providers.
Talk to your provider about which screenings are most important for you to take full advantage of this critical benefit.
