Why is preventive care so important?
* This content is provided for informational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult your doctor about any decisions about medical care. The services outlined here do not necessarily reflect the services, vaccines, screenings, or tests that will be covered under your benefit plan. Always refer to your plan documents for specific benefit coverage and limitations or call the toll-free member number on your health plan ID card. Certain procedures may not be fully covered under some benefit plans.
Regular preventive care visits and health screenings help you learn your current health status and may help identify potential health issues before they become more serious. Working with your doctor can help you determine what preventive care services may be right for you.
Common preventive care office services*
Annual wellness exam
Measurements of your weight, blood pressure, glucose (blood sugar) and cholesterol
Immunization vaccines, such as flu shots
Well-baby and well-child visits
Common preventive care screening services*
Cancer screenings, such as mammography, colorectal and cervical
Osteoporosis screening
Tobacco use and sexually transmitted diseases screening
Healthy diet, physical activity and depression screening
How is preventive care covered? Certain preventive health services will be covered based on age, gender and other factors without cost sharing (100% without charging a co-payment, deductible or co-insurance), as long you receive these services from a network provider.
How do I know if a service is preventive care or not? Preventive care focuses on your current health when you are symptom-free. If you are receiving treatment due to a symptom or an existing illness, the services provided usually won’t be considered or covered as preventive care.
