Making the Most of My Plan Diagnosis codes from your doctors show that you had a heart attack in the past. For most people, a type of medication called a beta blocker can lower your chances of having another heart attack. We encourage you to communicate with your doctor about this suggestion to see if a beta blocker is right for you. It is currently recommended that people obtain certain blood tests 3 months after starting Lipitor. These tests will re-check your cholesterol and liver function. We have not received a bill from a laboratory that shows you have had these tests. We recommend that you communicate with your doctor about the suggestion (55). 6 Making the Most of My Plan This section provides personalized tips on ways you can improve your health and/or take better advantage of the benefits offered through your health plan.
