What are preventive services?

  • Marketplace insurance plans cover preventive services for free when they’re delivered by a doctor or other provider in your plan’s network.
  • Preventive services include screenings, check-ups, and patient counseling. These services are used to prevent illnesses, disease, and other health problems, or to detect illness at an early stage when treatment is likely to work best.

Common preventive services

  • Blood pressure screenings
  • Cholesterol screenings (for certain ages and people at high risk)
  • Depression screenings
  • Immunizations
  • Obesity screenings and counseling
