Most healthplans maintain a list of preventative care services that are covered by the plan. Each plan has a document called an Evidence of Coverage and/or Summary of Benefits which should outline their definition of what they cover. The National Plans base their recommendations on Independent National Health Care Organizations like the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Cancer Society (ACS), etc who make certain recommendations for various tests that should be performed at a certain age, over a certain period of time, for early detection and preventation of certain diseases or health issues. For example:
Well Child Screenings
prostate cancer Screenings
Breast cancer Screenings
Cholestrol Screenings
Colorectal Cancer Screenings
Osteoporosis Screening
Cervical cancer Screening
Immunizations for Children as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control
Contact your plan for a complete list of their covered benefits. Not all plans are the same.
