Preventive care services
Under the Affordable Care Act, certain preventive care benefits are covered at no cost. That means you’ll have a $0 copay when you access these services within your plan network.
Free preventive care services are available for members of all ages, including:
- Annual preventive physical exams, most immunizations and related laboratory services for infants, children and adults
- Routine gynecological exams, most immunizations and related laboratory services
- Health screenings, including breast cancer, cholesterol, cervical cancer and more
TIP: When scheduling an appointment for a preventive care service, be specific that it is a “preventive care” visit so they know you shouldn’t be charged at the time of service. You can also download our free
preventive care checklists and take them to your appointment. If medical symptoms, concerns or conditions are discussed at a preventive care visit, it could be considered a medical diagnosis or treatment and may require a copayment or deductible.
You will need to schedule a separate office visit to address these issues.
