Preventative Care

Generally speaking, medical insurance plans cover certain types of preventive health services at no additional cost (no coinsurance or copayment). Some of these services should be taken advantage of regularly (e.g. once annually), while doctors may only recommend you use other services once if you’re at high risk for a certain disease. Here are some examples of common preventative care services.

Preventative Care For All Adults

This does not include drugs that induce abortion and doesn’t apply to medical insurance plans that are sponsored by religious organizations.

All of these services are included in most healthcare plans. Just be sure to choose a doctor or other medical professional who is in your chosen plan’s network.
