When it comes to staying healthy, prevention is often called “the best medicine”, and for good reason. Regular checkups, blood pressure monitoring, and wellness screenings can catch health issues early, when treatment is most effective and least costly123. Yet, despite the clear benefits, many Americans skip preventive care due to busy schedules, long wait times, or lack of access to a provider14. Nu Health Rx’s virtual healthcare membership is changing that, making preventive care as easy as logging in from home.

The Power of Preventive Care

Preventive health services are designed to detect problems before symptoms appear. Screenings for high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and other conditions can help identify risks early, allowing for timely interventions that prevent more serious health issues down the line12. Studies show that people who receive recommended preventive care are healthier, require less medical treatment, and miss fewer days of work due to illness23.

Despite these advantages, only a small percentage of adults receive all recommended preventive services, often because of barriers like cost, time, or difficulty accessing a provider14. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted access, but even before that, many Americans struggled to fit preventive visits into their lives1.

How Virtual Care Removes Barriers to Prevention

Nu Health Rx’s virtual-first model is designed to make preventive care accessible, convenient, and consistent:

• 24/7 Access to Licensed Providers: Members can schedule virtual checkups at times that work for them, early mornings, late evenings, or even during a lunch break. No need to take time off work or arrange childcare54.

• No Waiting Rooms, No Delays: Virtual visits eliminate the need to sit in a crowded waiting room or wait weeks for an appointment. You can connect with a provider in minutes, right from your living room56.

• Affordable, Flat-Rate Membership: Nu Health Rx offers unlimited virtual visits for one low monthly price, with no copays or insurance required. This makes preventive care financially accessible to everyone, regardless of income or insurance status5.

• Personalized Health Guidance: Providers can review your health history, discuss risk factors, and recommend screenings or lifestyle changes tailored to your needs. If you have a home blood pressure cuff or scale, you can share your readings during the visit for a more comprehensive assessment37.

• Seamless Prescription Management: If you need medications or further testing, prescriptions and referrals are handled virtually, with medications delivered to your door or sent to your local pharmacy5.

The Real-World Impact: Staying Ahead of Health Issues

With Nu Health Rx, preventive care becomes a regular part of life, not a once-a-year chore. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Regular Virtual Checkups: Schedule a wellness visit every few months to review your health, discuss any concerns, and update your care plan, all from home.

• Remote Monitoring: Share your blood pressure, weight, or other vital signs with your provider during your visit. This helps catch early warning signs of chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes37.

• Timely Screenings and Referrals: Your provider can recommend lab tests, imaging, or specialist visits based on your risk factors and health goals. Virtual care ensures you get the right care at the right time, without unnecessary delays84.

• Mental Health and Wellness Support: Preventive care isn’t just about physical health. Nu Health Rx includes mental health visits, so you can address stress, anxiety, or other emotional concerns as part of your overall wellness plan5.
