Heart Health

Heart health may not be at the forefront of your health journey. But by keeping your heart healthy, you can reduce the risk of developing serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.

Often, heart health and our metabolic health go hand in hand. You’ve heard it before - eat better for a healthier heart and healthier weight. And we’ve got the tools to help you do it.

Cardiovascular Disease Screening

Lipid Screenings are offered as a preventive care benefit. The results can tell you and your healthcare provider important information about your heart health. Talk to your doctor about your results or learn more about scheduling a lipid screening at your annual wellness exam. LP(a) is a particle that carries cholesterol molecules in the blood. High levels may be associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Note: Blue Cross Blue Shield Wyoming does not cover these screenings as a preventive service. For coverage questions, contact BCBSWY Member Services at 800-442-2376. Interested in a convenient, at-home free screening? The Family Heart Foundation is a free resource that provides at-home tests offered at NO COST to you.
