Preventive Care and Screening Services

Regular visits to your healthcare provider become more important than ever after you turn 65. Routine exams and screenings can reveal potentially serious health problems early. Meanwhile, by keeping up with all recommended vaccines and other preventive care, you minimize the danger of common illnesses like the flu, COVID, and shingles.

Your coverage through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan will pay all or most of the costs for many medically necessary preventive and diagnostic services. Understanding what’s covered empowers you to plan your doctor’s visits for the year and make the best use of your insurance.
