Many families — even those who have a traditional insurance plan — don’t have access to preventive care. Others do have access but only get coverage after they have hit a high deductible and paid costly monthly premiums.
These expenses often make using preventive care unaffordable, contributing to a growing and concerning problem: most Americans are not receiving the preventive care services they need.
- 8% of Americans receive all of the recommended preventive care services.
- Fewer than one in four receive at least 75%.
At Health Access Solutions, we are working to solve this problem by making preventive care accessible to our members and their families.
With your preventive care benefit, you will never pay for care you don’t need or have to foot the bill for runaway premiums. Instead, you and your family choose what you need, submit the bills, and then receive reimbursement for every eligible service.
What is Preventive Care?
Preventive care reimburses you for preventive medical services such as flu shots, dental cleanings, vision exams, and mental health counseling, among other services. As a Health Access Solutions member, you can use your preventive care service anytime you visit a doctor’s office or lab. Your benefit covers dozens of tests, screenings, and exams.
How do I use my Preventive Care services?
Your primary care provider, to whom you have direct access through your Health Access Benefit, is the best way to utilize your preventive care services. Your primary care provider can assist with routine medical needs, help manage your overall health, order tests or screenings, prescribe medication, and address your preventive care concerns.
Routine preventive care services screen you and your family members for common health issues, such as high blood pressure, depression, or serious illnesses. Our preventive care service also ensures that you and your family remain up-to-date with vaccines or pediatric immunizations.
Regularly visiting your primary care provider and partnering with them to maintain your overall wellness is the best way to stay in charge of your health care and health care costs.
