Preventive Services

The Affordable Care Act requires that certain preventive services are covered at no cost to you. These services fall into three categories:

• Screenings
• Immunizations
• Health exams

Common adult screenings include cholesterol, blood pressure, mammograms, and colonoscopies. Common adult immunizations include the tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and vaccines for the flu and shingles. If you have children covered under your plan, they’ll be covered at 100 percent for a variety of screenings and immunizations.
