Summary
EmblemHealth released guidance encouraging providers to discuss brain health with older patients during Mental Health Awareness Month (May) and Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month (June). This is educational content about preventive care conversations and resources, not a billing or coverage policy change.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Providers may optionally incorporate brain health screening questions into routine visits with older patients and share provided educational resources about Alzheimer's prevention and support services.
