Preventative Care and Wellness Services Under Health Insurance Coverage

Preventive care refers to health services like screenings, check-ups, and patient counseling used to prevent illnesses, diseases, and other health problems, or to detect them at an early stage when treatment is likely to work best.

Key Points:

• Many preventive services are covered at 100% under the Affordable Care Act.

• Includes services like vaccinations, cancer screenings, and annual physicals.

• Focusing on prevention can lead to better health outcomes and lower long-term costs.

Example: Under most health plans, you can get a flu shot or an annual physical without paying anything out-of-pocket, as these are considered preventive care.
