Waiting until you need to go to the doctor due to illness should be a thing of the past, practicing a healthy lifestyle and visiting the doctor for routine, preventive services is the key to a longer, healthier life.
When you become ill, you have no choice but to pay attention to your health. But, with free preventive services, like immunizations and yearly exams, you can get ahead of something that may have become catastrophic otherwise. Insurance companies want you to stay healthy, and in doing so, it keeps the cost of healthcare down.
Insurance carriers do have some age restrictions on some services, but overall, these preventive services are covered:
*Adult services:
• Laboratory tests
• Contraception
• Procedures; i.e., Pap Test, Lung Cancer Screening (between ages 55 and 80), Screening Mammogram

/by adminWe understand that navigating the insurance maze can be daunting. Insurance companies use terms like, “Copay” and “Out of Pocket” and sometimes their terms can seem like a foreign language. Here are some of the most common terms you may hear and what they mean.
Insurance Premium– This is the cost of your plan, the monthly bill you, or your employer, pays for insurance coverage.
Deductible-This is the amount you pay BEFORE your insurance plan kicks and pays for certain services.
Copay– This is the upfront fee you pay to your doctor for services and office visits. This also applies to some medications.
Coinsurance– This is the amount you pay for services after your deductible has been met.
Total Member Responsibility-The amount that you owe for services AFTER your insurance plan has paid their portion. This can include deductibles, copays and coinsurance.
Out of Pocket Maximum– This the MOST you will be required to pay towards your deductible, copays and coinsurance. When you meet the Out of Pocket Maximum, all eligible charges for medical services are covered at 100% for the rest of the year.
