A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best way for doctors to find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat — sometimes up to three years before symptoms show. Most women should begin having mammograms every one to two years starting at age 40, and then every year once they turn 50. You should talk to your doctor about the right schedule for you, since they might recommend screening earlier and more frequently if you have certain risk factors.

For the fourth year, Marvell is partnering with the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University to bring awareness about hepatitis B and liver cancer to our offices in the U.S. and worldwide.

Hepatitis B, although a preventable disease, afflicts 240 million people worldwide and continues to be the leading cause of liver cancer. Globally, one in every ten Asians and Pacific Islanders lives with chronic hepatitis B. Many people infected with the disease are unaware they have it as there are no symptoms until the disease has caused liver cancer. But with regular monitorying, hepatitis B can be managed and prevented from turning into liver cancer.

Significant Recent Updates in the U.S.

1. Passage of California’s new law, Assembly Bill 789, making it the first state in the country to require primary health care facilities to offer all adults a voluntary hepatitis B and hepatitis C screening test, and treatment if test positive.
2. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations for one-time hepatitis B screening of adults aged 18 years and older and universal hepatitis B vaccination for all unvaccinated adults aged 19 to 59 years.

Hep B Stops with Me and My Family!

When diagnosed early through testing, effective monitoring and treatment can save your life.  Learn if you and your family should get tested at hepbhra.org.

Telemedicine is a great option if you’re not feeling well but unsure if you need to visit the doctor’s office. You and your eligible family members have an exclusive, no-cost membership to 2nd.MD, an expert second-opinion medical consultation and navigation service.

All Marvell medical plans also cover telehealth visits:

• Anthem Blue Cross: LiveHealth Online
• Kaiser: My Doctor Online (kp.org)
• Tufts: Teladoc

 If your situation isn’t urgent and you don’t want to use telemedicine services, your primary care doctor is a good starting point for diagnosing and treating common illnesses. Primary care doctors treat common colds, sinus infections, stomach problems and skin rashes, along with more chronic health issues such as acne, depression, asthma, high blood pressure and allergies.

If you’re enrolled in a Marvell medical plan, in-network preventive care is always covered at 100%.

 If you need care fast, try an urgent care center near you. Urgent care is a good choice for problems that need immediate attention but are not severe enough to justify a trip to the emergency room—for example, sprains, stitches or X-rays. You may have a shorter wait than at an emergency room, and will have lower costs. Urgent care centers have evening and weekend hours.

If your situation is life-threatening, get treatment immediately by calling 911 or going to the emergency room. At the emergency room, true emergencies are treated first. Other cases will have longer wait times, and care will cost you more. Hospital emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a staff of emergency room doctors, nurses and specialists.

Note: All Marvell medical plans cover out-of-network emergency room visits.
