Preventive Care

Preventive health care designed to keep you ahead of the curve—this includes screenings, check-ups, and counseling to ward off illnesses, diseases, or other health issues.

Detailed Explanation

Many health insurance plans cover preventive care services at no cost to you, even before you meet your deductible.

Practical Example

Jessica goes for her annual physical exam and flu shot every year. Because these are considered preventive care, her insurance plan covers the full cost without her having to pay a co-pay or deductible.
