What is Preventive Services Coverage?

Preventive services coverage refers to health insurance benefits that fully cover specific preventive care services without requiring copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. Under the Affordable Care Act, all non-grandfathered health plans must cover recommended preventive services including vaccinations, screenings for various cancers and chronic conditions, well-child visits, and certain counseling services when delivered by in-network providers.

Why preventive services coverage matters

• Promotes early detection: Encourages regular screenings that can identify health issues early
• Reduces healthcare costs: Prevents expensive treatments by catching conditions before they worsen
• Improves population health: Increases access to essential preventive care across communities
