Safety with your Health on the Road

 

Your Health on the Road

 We are retired and have some health issues.

So, when we travel it is important to have medical records with us. Our physician suggested a simple 3 ring binder with info on our doctors, diagnoses, meds, and in some cases lab reports. Many insurances will not repeat lab work in a certain time frame thus you pay out-of-pocket (i.e., A1C).

We had not considered this, but now have a medical binder to take along with us.

Also, we use a big-box pharmacy (CVS) so we can obtain meds/refills easily anywhere we travel. Would you believe it is not that easy to find a CVS or Walgreens everywhere we go? For example, Utah!!

So, I’ve made a list of towns near the locations we are staying that have CVS, in case we need to get meds. Yes, I know we can use other pharmacies but prefer to use our pharmacy if possible.

Take control of your health and be sure to take Health Records with you.
