Screenings are important to detect issues before they become big and difficult to treat. Your health plan is designed to help you get the care you need. Read on for some common adult screenings.
After you've been diagnosed with a medical condition, tests to monitor cancer or other conditions are no longer considered preventive, and will be billed as diagnostic. That means services are subject to a copay and your deductible.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it still affects thousands of people each year. Routine screenings lead to a better health outcome.
A breast cancer screening is a test that looks for early signs of cancer in breast tissue. Finding cancer early can help make treatment more effective and less invasive.
A colorectal cancer screening is a test used to find abnormalities before symptoms begin. These tests can find problems early, which can improve health outcomes.
Preventive screenings are a critical component of staying healthy. Want to know about covered cancer screenings? Use our Five Things guides on breast, cervical, colorectal, and general preventive screenings.
Preventive screenings vary for men and women. Your health plan covers preventive care services as required by state and federal law. Review the "A" and "B" rated services on the United States Preventive Task Force, immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and preventive care and screening recommended by the Health Resources and Services Administration. See the list on healthcare.gov.
Some tests and procedures aren’t for everyone. Read about the options to help you determine what is right for you and have a conversation with your healthcare provider.
