PREVENTATIVE CARE VS. DIAGNOSTIC CARE
Preventive = Deductible does not applyWhen you have no symptoms with no reason to think you aren't healthy and you get a service or test listed in the Preventive Health Care Guidelines, it's a "preventive service.”Carriers pay 100% for preventive services.
Examples of Preventative Services:Well Woman, Well Man, Well Child Annual Check Up In association with the Affordable Care Act Schedule of Care
Immunizations, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Diet Counseling for Adults at Risk for Chronic Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Screening for adults with high blood pressure, Tobacco use & Cessation Intervention.
