Healthy blood pressure recheck initiative

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid is committed to ensuring all our members have controlled blood pressure. We’re encouraging you to recheck any elevated readings taken at the start of the appointment 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.
