Take Advantage of Your Free Preventative Care
Did you know that all health insurance plans regulated by the Affordable Care Act, regardless of the metal tier, cover preventative care free of charge? Preventative care is one of the 10 essential health benefits required to be included in ACA-compliant plans and is not just for your annual wellness exam. Everyone should make sure to schedule a doctor’s visit at least once per year to check in on their health. Preventative care is just that, preventative, and can help address health problems before they get worse.
Please review below some of the free preventative care benefits covered by ACA-compliant health insurance plans. Grandfathered health insurance plans may or may not cover preventative care free of charge (plans that started before the ACA was introduced).
