Hearing
Good hearing is important to your overall health and
well-being. Unfortunately, permanent hearing loss can
happen from exposure to everyday noise, such as listening
to music, driving in city traffic or doing your weekend
gardening. While we all undergo some hearing loss as
we age, we can help minimize this loss by getting annual
hearing exams and taking steps to protect our hearing.

All three medical plan options cover one preventive
hearing exam per calendar year.
Please Note:
Any examination or test described in this guide,
when used to treat a diagnosed illness or injury, will not be
considered a preventive care benefit. In such case, the
examination or test will be covered according to plan provisions.
Track Your Preventive Care
With Personal Health Record
Your Personal Health Record is available through
when you need it, at any time
and any location. This tool is available not only for
you but for your eligible dependents as well.
This record combines your important health information
into a safe, secure home — no more scattered papers
to file! Each time you have a claim against your
insurance (doctor’s visit, prescription fill, etc.) it will
automatically show up in your Personal Health Record.
You can even add other important information such as
over-the-counter medications you are taking and allergic
drug reactions.
The Personal Health Record helps you share information
about your health with your health care providers during
scheduled appointments or in an emergency. You can
print out a Health Summary to give your doctor a clear
picture of your health history, or an emergency card to
carry that lists your doctors, emergency phone numbers
and other important health information such as drug
allergies. You can even access your Personal Health
Record from a computer in your doctor’s office.
The information in your Personal Health Record is
secure — ActiveHealth and Aetna are committed to
protecting the privacy of personal health information.
Each record is kept confidential, private and secure,
in compliance with federal and state laws. Access
to the Personal Health Record requires a secure
username and password, so you control who sees the
information. Employers like Chevron Phillips Chemical
do not
have access to the information in your record,
and it cannot be used in any way to limit the ability
to get or use medical insurance.
