Preventive Care – Take Smart, Healthy Steps This Year

Getting a healthy start to 2019? We want to be sure you are familiar with the preventive care that’s available to you and your family to help keep you on your path to a healthy 2019.  Preventive care includes routine well-exams, screenings, and immunizations intended to prevent or avoid illness or other health problems.  It’s designed to help you stay healthy, and is covered by most health plans with $0 out-of-pocket when you see a network provider.  For example, under the GW UHC medical plans, when you see an in-network doctor for well-child and adult exams, GW covers 100% of the cost.

Preventive health visits provide a snapshot of your health today and also aim to identify any health issues before they become more serious. UnitedHealthcare has put together this helpful document that outlines preventive care guidelines for adults and children to keep you on track for both a healthy year and life.
