Urinary tract infection tool kits are on the way

To support the health of our members, Empire BlueCross BlueShield (Empire) 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 Empire members. If you have any questions, please contact Provider Services via the number on the back of the patient’s member ID card.
