What’s Included in a Preventive Health Visit (Usually No Cost)

Most insurance plans cover many preventive services for no cost if you see a provider in your network. These visits focus on keeping you well and may include:

• Talking About Your Health: We’ll ask about your past health, your daily habits, and any concerns you have.
• Vital Signs & Physical Exam: We’ll check your blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, and listen to your heart and lungs.
• Lab Tests: Depending on your age and health, you may need lab tests. These are done by InterPath Laboratory, and you may get a separate bill.
• Screenings: This could include cholesterol checks, diabetes testing, or referrals for cancer screenings like mammograms or colonoscopies.
• Vaccines: We offer shots recommended by national guidelines (like flu shots).
• Healthy Living Advice: You may get tips on eating well, exercising, quitting smoking, and more.
• Medicine Refills: Your provider may refill medicines for ongoing health conditions.

These services are meant to prevent illness before it starts. They are not for treating health problems you already have.

Your visit may cost more if we:

• Treat a new problem (like back pain or a rash)
• Order tests that aren’t preventive (like a CT scan or extra lab work)

• Change how we treat a long-term condition (like diabetes or high blood pressure)

If any of these happen, your insurance might charge you a co-pay or other fees.

What’s Not Included:

Your visit may cost more if it is a:

• Sick Visit: If your child is sick or has a new problem (like an ear infection or rash), we will need to schedule a separate visit or bill an additional charge.
• Special Testing or Lab Work: Most lab work is not done at a Well Child Check unless your provider recommends it based on your child’s needs.
• Referrals to Specialists: If your child needs to see a specialist, we’ll help you with the referral, but the visit will be billed separately.

Most Well Child Checks are covered at no cost to you by insurance when done with an in-network provider. If any extra services are needed, your insurance may charge you a co-pay or deductible.
