How Do I Know If A Service Is Preventive Or
Diagnostic?
Preventive care is deined as routine checkups undertaken without
any indication you are sick. For example, if you are scheduled for
your annual physical and you indicate to the doctor you’ve been
experiencing an earache, the checkup would turn into a diagnostic
appointment. What this means for you is the appointment is no
longer covered at 100 percent and may be subject to a deductible or
copayment. To be sure an appointment is preventive, you would need
to come to the doctor’s ofice not experiencing any symptoms and no
reason to think you were unhealthy.
How to Access Your Preventive Services
Present your Reliance Standard ID Card to the doctor or facility
which provides your services. The provider will send a bill to Reliance
Standard for payment. If you only received care for a covered
preventive service, you will not be charged for your visit. If you
received a non-covered service, you will receive a bill in the mail from
your provider.
