Take Advantage of Preventive Services

Preventive check-ups and screenings can help find signs of health problems early, when they’re easier to prevent or treat. Your health plan covers some screenings and services with no out-of-pocket costs like copays or coinsurance when you visit a doctor in your plan’s provider network. Examples of covered preventive care services include annual wellness exams, vaccines, and screenings for things like diabetes, cancer or depression.
