See the Updated Resources in Our Clinical Guidelines

We maintain Clinical Guidelines with evidence-based recommendations to help both our network providers and their patients make informed care decisions about specific clinical conditions. To address our member community’s most common health issues, we recently updated the Clinical Guidelines’ resources, which are reviewed by our medical directors to ensure quality. Topics addressed in our Clinical Guidelines include:

  • Behavioral health
  • Cancer screening
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Chronic pain and prescribing controlled substances
  • Dental care
  • Diabetes
  • Gastroenterology
  • Gender affirming care
  • Immunizations
  • Obesity
  • Pediatrics
  • Pulmonary disease
  • STD and other infectious disease guidelines
  • Tobacco cessation

This list is not comprehensive, and we’re always looking for ways to improve care for our members. If you have recommendations for our Clinical Guidelines or other informational resources, please email [email protected].
