Preventive Health Services for Adults

Under the Affordable Care Act, most health insurance plans must cover a set of preventive services at no cost to you — even if you haven't met your deductible.

Covered Preventive Services Include

• Blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes screenings
• Colorectal cancer screenings (colonoscopy)
• Mammograms and cervical cancer screenings
• Depression and obesity screenings
• Immunizations: flu, pneumococcal, HPV, hepatitis, and more
• HIV and STI screenings and counseling
• Lung cancer screening for high-risk smokers
• Tobacco and alcohol cessation counseling
• Osteoporosis screening for women at risk
• Annual wellness visits
