Healthy blood pressure recheck initiative

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is committed to ensuring all of our members have controlled blood pressure. We’re encouraging you to recheck any elevated readings taken at the start of the appointment and again before the patient leaves, in hopes of obtaining a reading of less than 140/90 mmHg. If the second reading continues to be elevated, have the member return in a few weeks for a blood pressure recheck.

We’ve created a guide to help incorporate this practice into your office’s daily workflow with minimal disruption to your day. You can find the Healthy Blood Pressure Recheck Guide here. Please join us in making 2023 our members’ happiest and healthiest year yet!
