Health Care Costs
What Should You (and Your Wallet) Expect?
Annual Check-Ups
Annual check-ups are covered by your plan. However, you may need to pay for "extra" services provided during your appointment, like new prescriptions or unexpected tests.
Check-Ups Beyond an Annual Exam
Did you visit your doctor because of a scratchy throat or new symptom? If you visit your doctor for more than 1 annual check-up a year, you may get a health care bill.
Routine Vaccines & Screenings
Standard immunizations and, depending on your age, some screenings like mammograms or colonoscopies are covered by your plan.
Diagnostic Screenings & Tests
While some screenings and tests are covered as preventive, others, like tests performed for concerning health symptoms, are not covered as preventive care.
Behavioral Health Support
Behavioral health services like substance use and rehabilitation or counseling are essential benefits. However, the costs vary depending the type of care and your plan.
