Preventive health services

Preventive health services

preventive health services are routine medical services that help prevent disease, illness and other health issues. Examples of preventive health services include routine check-ups, counseling, screenings, and vaccinations.

Under the Affordable Care Act, most health plans are required to provide preventive health services at no extra cost to the policyholder, which means you will not have to pay a copayment, coinsurance, or meet your deductible to receive certain preventive services.
