Take Advantage Of Your
Preventive Care Coverage
Certain preventive services are covered without charging a
deductible, copayment or coinsurance when these services are
provided by a network provider.
It’s important to review your plan documents for the preventive
services included in your specific benefit plan.
Regular preventive care may help
• Reduce risk of disease
• Detect health problems early
• Protect you from higher costs down the road

Preventive services
Certain services can be done for preventive or diagnostic
reasons.
Covered preventive services performed specifically for
preventive screening, with no known symptoms,
illnesses, or history, are generally covered as Preventive
Care, subject to age and gender guidelines, and health
status.
Preventive services are usually covered when done on a person
who:
14
• has not had the preventive screening done before and does not have
symptoms or abnormalities
• has had a screening done within the recommended age/gender guidelines
with the findings considered normal
• has had previous diagnostic services with the results being normal
• has a preventive service done that results in a therapeutic service done at
the same time, and as an integral part of the preventive service (e.g.
polyp removal during a preventive colonoscopy), the therapeutic service
would still be considered preventive service
