HealthChoice Preventive Care ServicesEffective Apr. 1, 2022Released Apr. 18, 2022Preventive services are provided for overall health maintenance - such as routine health/wellness exams and tests,vaccinations, well-baby care and well-child care. Health screenings and wellness exams can discover problems youmay not know you have. The earlier problems are found, the greater the opportunity for treatment.The Department of Health and Human Services Affordable Care Act has defined preventive services, to be coveredwith no cost-share, as described in the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force A and B recommendations, the AdvisoryCommittee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and certainguidelines for infants, children, adolescents and women supported by the Health Resources and Services Admin(HRSA) Guidelines including the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures periodicity guidelines.Certain services can be done for preventive or diagnostic reasons. When a service is performed for the purpose ofpreventive screening and is appropriately reported, it will be considered under the HealthChoice preventive careservices benefit. Diagnostic services are considered under the HealthChoice standard plan benefits.Preventive services are those performed on a person who has not had the preventive screening done before and doesnot have symptoms or other studies suggesting abnormalities, has had screening done within the recommendedinterval with the findings considered normal, or has had diagnostic services results that were normal after which thephysician recommendation is for future preventive screening studies using the preventive services intervals.Diagnostic services are services that are performed on a person who had a previous preventive or diagnostic studywhich identified an abnormality that requires additional diagnostic studies, or a recommendation was made for arepeat of the same studies within shortened time intervals from the recommended preventive screening timeintervals, or who had a symptom(s) that required further diagnosis, or does not fall within the applicable populationfor a recommendation or guideline.HealthChoice covers qualifying preventive care services at 100% of allowable amounts when rendered by aparticipating network provider. Qualifying coverage may be determined by age, gender or other factors. There couldbe certain codes not payable in all circumstances due to other polices or guidelines, including coverage limitations orexclusions, and/or certification may be required for coverage. If you receive services during a preventive care visitother than for qualifying preventive care, you may have to pay for those services.For more details or questions on qualifying preventive care services and coverage please contact customer care at800-323-4314 and a member advocate will be happy to assist you.Table of Contents:Preventive Services . .
