Chief Medical Officer, Optima Health
Dr. Jay Schukman is the chief medical officer with Optima Health. Optima Health offers a variety of health plans, including Medicare. They also work to improve senior health and help those with chronic conditions manage their care through their all-in-one Medicare Advantage coverage and extra benefits. Dr. Schukman is here today to talk with us about senior health preventive care and how to address gaps in care.
- Senior health begins with preventive care. What is considered preventive care, and why is it especially important for seniors?
- Wellness visits are an important part of preventive care. What should seniors expect when it is time for their next wellness visit?
- What does preventive care look like for someone who has a chronic condition, like diabetes or heart disease?
- During the pandemic, there was a trend where seniors were not going to their
doctor visits. How would you recommend someone get caught-up? - What are some examples of common care gaps for seniors?
- How does Optima Health help Medicare members address their care gaps?
- As important as preventive care and addressing care gaps is, there are other factors impacting senior health. How is Optima Health approaching the non-medical side of a
person’s health?
