Benefits News Preventive Services for Employees on Florida Blue Medical Plan Did you know Baptist wellness benefits have no co-pay when you see an in-network physician for your annual preventive visit or screening? This includes annual physicals, annual well-woman visits, mammograms, prostate screenings, immunizations and diagnostic colonoscopies, just

to name a few. Baptist covers all of the cost. With summer approaching, now may be a good time to schedule an appointment for yourself and covered dependents on your medical plan.

Locating Out-of-State Providers If you are outside the state of Florida and need to locate a participating provider, simply call the number on the back of your Florida Blue member ID card or visit www.bcbs.com . Click on the “Find a Provider or Hospital” link and follow the prompts to search for a BlueCard PPO/EPO provider.

If you have children planning to attend an out-ofstate college soon, you may want to search for this information in advance!

Baptist Nassau Thank You, Jonah Medders If you enjoy our Auxiliary Park, you’ve probably noticed the sturdy new benches there, a gift from Jonah Medders, who is the son of Traci Medders, our lead mammography technologist. Last summer, Jonah was looking for a community service project to do as a part of earning his Eagle Scout award. He noticed the benches in the park were getting old and wearing out, so he checked with the Auxiliary and Plant Facilities to get permission to replace them. He worked through the summer to build new benches.

Eagle Scout is the highest honor that a young man can attain in Boy Scouts of America. Jerrie Moore, Imaging & Cardiopulmonary director, stated, “I am so proud of Jonah and so thankful that he thought of Baptist Nassau for his project.”
