How much preventative care is covered?
Preventive care is especially important for women, and individual plans offer a range of options for doctor visits, lab/x-ray and other services. Routine mammograms and pap tests are two of the most important tests to help detect diseases early on. The type of plan you select is ultimately a personal choice, but if you want to see your personal physician and OB/GYN every year then you should look into plans with a co-pay option for preventive care visits. Co-pays typically range from $20 to $35 per visit. Note: The vast majority of individual plans include preventive care coverage, but you may be able to save money on premiums by selecting a plan without them. If you’re shopping for insurance at eHealthInsurance.com be sure to review a plan’s preventive care benefits by selecting the “Preventive Care Coverage” section of a plan summary.
