Sunflower wants you to be healthy. We encourage our members to take care of themselves by getting preventive health services such as:

• Immunizations. This includes flu, tetanus and pneumonia shots.
• Mammograms, Pap Tests, and Chlamydia Screenings. Women should have mammograms and pap smears. These simple tests can check to see if cancer is developing. Finding and treating cancer early is the key to successful treatment.
• Prostate Screenings. Men should have this exam starting at age 50.
• Regular Screenings. People with chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure need regular screenings to make sure the condition is controlled.
• Smoking Cessation. To improve your overall health, it is best to quit smoking.

You can pick up prescriptions at any of our in-network pharmacies. To see if your pharmacy is in our network, you can do a search on this website in Find-A-Provider, or call us at toll free 1-877-644-4623 (TTY: 711).
