Covered Preventive Health Care Benefits

Preventive care benefits for adults!

You may have noticed the leaves falling from the trees, the days getting cooler and, that’s right, people applying for health insurance during the Fall Open Enrollment. Now is the season of health care plans. All Marketplace health plans and many other plans cover preventative services without charging you a copayment or coinsurance. This is true even if you haven’t met your yearly deductible.
