What are preventive care services?

Preventive care services are provided during a wellness exam.  You and your doctor will determine which tests and health screenings are right for you.  The screenings are based on your:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Personal health history
  • Current health

You do not need to have symptoms or be diagnosed with a health issue to receive preventive care services. For example, a flu shot is given to prevent the flu.  Other services, like mammograms, help detect illnesses when there are not any symptoms.  Even if you are in the best shape of your life, a serious condition with no visible symptoms may put your health at risk.

 

What is not considered a preventive care service?

During your wellness exam, you may receive services that are not considered preventive care services.  For example, if your doctor determines you may have a medical issue and might order additional screenings and tests.  These additional tests and procedures would no longer be considered preventive.  Those services will be considered under your medical benefits, not preventive care benefits.  This means you may be responsible for paying a portion of cost where with preventive care services there is no cost sharing.
