Preventative Medical Visits
A preventive medical visit is a comprehensive, preventive medical exam of a patient, including age and gender appropriate history, counseling/anticipatory guidance/risk factor reduction interventions, an examination, laboratory test, and/or diagnostic procedures. Insurance coverage for screening labs and diagnostic studies vary by insurance provider. These visits are exempt from co-pays.
Special note about co-pays: a separate office visit code may be charged if an abnormality is found or if a pre-existing problem is covered during this type of visit that requires additional work to perform key components of problem oriented evaluation and management. This additional code will require a copay if one is charged by your insurance provider. For more information or if you have any questions, please contact your insurance provider directly for the most accurate information about your coverage.
