This resource available exclusively to members, explores our online medical library to learn self-care skills to help take control of your health care.

The library:

• provides information on medical topics and health and wellness issues
• helps you decide whether to see your doctor, go to the emergency room (depending on the severity of your symptoms), or treat a common health problem at home
• offers guidance for self-care procedures
• assists you if you are facing a major or minor medical decision, and provides questions to ask your doctor about treatment options

Our comprehensive health care guidebook, available at no additional cost to members, presents a series of yes-or-no assessment questions to help you find answers to questions about common health concerns. While the guide is not a substitute for medical advice, it can help you make informed choices about your condition.

Simply ask yourself the guide's questions about a symptom or situation. Based on your answers, you can review an easy-to-understand chart to reach the most appropriate recommendation for care. When self-care is recommended, the guide offers simple procedures you can follow at home to remedy the situation.

The guide is available in either English or Spanish.
