Preventive Care Coverage:

One of the most valuable benefits included with your benefit package is preventive care coverage which
covers 100% of eligible preventive services. NO Dr. copays or deductibles apply! Like all other services, you must

see In-Network Providers. This means that you and your covered dependents have access to a variety of
medical tests, screenings, annual exams, and immunizations which may help reduce your risk of developing
health conditions in the future and avoid expensive treatment down the road.

Understanding Preventive Care:

Preventive care is the first step in knowing how healthy you are. The goal is to “prevent” a serious health
condition by detecting problems early on. Preventive care includes screenings, tests, medicines, and
counseling performed or prescribed by your doctor or other health care providers to test for conditions which
may develop even when you don’t have signs or symptoms of an injury or illness. Your provider is able to
deliver treatment which can prevent you from getting sick and by counseling you on beneficial lifestyle
changes or offspring prophylactic treatment.

Why Preventive Care is Important:

• Detection of health conditions early when they are more easily treatable

• Identification of potential risks to your future health
