(BPT) - Por el Dr. Ali Khan, director médico de Aetna® Medicare y médico internista certificado por la junta en ejercicio
Una vez inscrito en su plan Medicare Advantage para 2026, es posible que se olvide de este. Sin embargo, el nuevo año es el momento ideal para dar prioridad a su salud. Hablo con mis pacientes a diario sobre la importancia de la atención preventiva para mantener el bienestar y evitar que problemas de salud menores se conviertan en problemas más graves. Por desgracia, a menudo se la pasa por alto entre los adultos mayores. Para 2050, se proyecta que la población de adultos mayores de 50 años que viven con al menos una enfermedad crónica casi se duplicará, lo que hace que la atención preventiva sea aún más importante.
