Urinary tract infection tool kits are on the way

To support the health of our members, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) is sending urinary tract infection (UTI) tool kits to select members who were seen in the ER for a UTI. This kit contains:

• A water bottle to help your patient stay hydrated.
• UTI test strips with instructions on use if having symptoms. These test strips are available over the counter (OTC). 
• Basic instructions on how to use the tool kit and on reasons to seek care.

You might be hearing from your patients who are Anthem members. If you have any questions, please contact Provider Services via the number on the back of the patient’s member ID card.
