2 2017 FREE PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES At MetroPlus, we always want you to be at your best. That s why we encourage you and your family to take advantage of preventive care services available to you at no cost. We ve listed dozens of FREE preventive services here for adults, women and children that just may help you be your healthiest yet WHAT ARE PREVENTIVE CARE SERVICES? Preventive care helps your doctor find potential health problems before you feel sick. By finding medical problems early, your doctor can see you get the care you need to stay healthy. Be sure to visit your doctor regularly to get preventive care. Preventive care includes some: Immunizations Physical exams Lab tests Prescriptions The free preventive care services we list in these guidelines are based on recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the latest medical research from organizations like the American Medical Association. DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREVENTIVE AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES? The same service could be preventive (free) or diagnostic (copayments, coinsurance or deductibles apply). A list of free preventive care services can be found in our online guide at metroplus.org/knowyourbenefits. Preventive care services are free when provided by an in-network doctor. Go to metroplus.org/findadoctor and use our Find a Doctor tool to find in network doctors. Preventive care Diagnostic care REASON FOR SERVICE To prevent health problems. You don t have symptoms. You have a symptom, or you re being checked because of a known health issue. WHAT YOU LL PAY You won t pay anything. This is a medical claim. Your deductible, copayments and coinsurance may apply. 2

3 7 in 10 American deaths each year result from chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Did you know many of these deaths can be prevented through early detection and the right care? Source: CDC Questions about preventive care? Find more information at metroplus.org/knowyourbenefits or call Member Services at the number on the back of your member ID card. HOW DO I KNOW IF A SERVICE IS PREVENTIVE OR DIAGNOSTIC? A service is diagnostic when it s done to monitor, diagnose or treat health problems. That means: If you have a chronic disease like diabetes, your doctor may monitor your condition with tests. Because the tests manage your condition, they re diagnostic. If you have a preventive screening and a health problem shows up, your doctor may order follow-up tests. In this case, the follow-up tests are diagnostic. If your doctor orders tests based on symptoms you re having, like a stomachache, these tests are diagnostic. If you receive services listed in this guide for a diagnostic reason, there may be a cost to you. COMPARE COSTS AND QUALITY FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES Did you know that the cost of medical tests and procedures can vary 300% or more depending on where you have these performed. Compare costs and quality for 200+ health services at metroplus.org. SERVICE IT S PREVENTIVE (FREE) WHEN IT S DIAGNOSTIC WHEN DIABETES SCREENING OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING COLON CANCER SCREENING COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) METABOLIC PANELS URINALYSIS PROSTATE EXAM (PSA) A blood glucose test is used to detect problems with your blood sugar, even though you don t have symptoms. Your doctor recommends a bone density test based on your age or family history. Your doctor wants to screen for signs of colon cancer based on your age or family history. If a polyp is found and removed during your preventive colonoscopy, the colonoscopy and polyp removal are preventive. If the polyp is sent for lab testing, the testing is considered diagnostic. Never preventive. Never preventive. Never preventive. Never preventive. You re diagnosed with diabetes and your doctor checks your A1c. You ve had a health problem, or your doctor wants to determine the success of a treatment. You re having a health problem, like bleeding or irregularity, or if the polyp you have removed is sent to a lab to be tested, the lab test is diagnostic. Always diagnostic. Studies show there s no need for this test unless you have symptoms. Always diagnostic. Studies show that a metabolic panel isn t the best test for detecting or preventing illnesses. Always diagnostic. National Guidelines say there s no need for this test unless you have symptoms. Always diagnostic. National Guidelines have changed recently because this test gives many false results. 3
