Ever opened a medical bill and felt your heart drop? We want to make sure that never happens to our members.

This applies to any non-emergency items or services and includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰:

▶ Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.

▶ If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

▶ Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

▶ A healthcare provider is not required to issue a Good Faith Estimate if the appointment or services are scheduled less than 3 business days in advance. In this case, the patient would have to request a Good Faith Estimate.

Please Note: Because the good faith estimate is based on information known at the time your provider or facility creates the estimate, it won’t include any unknown or unexpected costs that may be added during your treatment. However, If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute your bill.

👉 If you are an Ovation Direct member, our Care Team can assist with obtaining a Good Faith Estimate OR disputing a surprise bill.

Heart disease is very common. In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups.

As February is American Heart Month, it's the perfect time to refocus on the small habits that make a big difference for your cardiovascular health.

Since high blood pressure often has no symptoms, prevention is your best defense. Here are some tips from the CDC's guide on how to keep your heart strong through simple, daily choices.

❤️ How to Protect Your Heart
Eat with Purpose: Focus on foods high in potassium and fiber while cutting back on salt. The DASH eating plan is a great place to start.

Get Moving: Aim for about 30 minutes of moderate activity (like a brisk walk) five days a week.

Prioritize Rest: Consistent, quality sleep is essential for keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range.

Manage Stress: Long-term stress can impact your heart rate and blood pressure—don't be afraid to talk to your healthcare team about mental health.

Check out the full article for more tips on preventing high blood pressure. 👉 https://www.cdc.gov/heart-disease/php/heart-month/index.html

Use the AHM toolkit for resources, graphics, and social messages about cardiovascular disease

To Everyone Feeling the Weight of It All 🌍💛

Lately, so many of us are juggling heavy burdens — financial stress that keeps us up at night, political uncertainty shaking our sense of stability, and the everyday pressures of work, family, and just trying to keep it all together. It’s a lot. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of what comes next… you are not alone.

We’re living in a time where it seems like stress comes from all directions — bills that pile up, headlines that unsettle us, parents and kids needing our time and energy, and the quiet struggle of trying to take care of ourselves in the middle of the chaos. Anyone dealing with this knows it can feel like too much to manage.

Here’s the important part: Feeling this way doesn’t mean you’re weak or failing — it means you’re human. And there are ways to find small moments of relief, clarity, and grounding even when life feels overwhelming.

💡Check out this great resource with 31 practical tips to boost your mental health.
It’s full of thoughtful suggestions you can try at your own pace.
