No Copayments for Preventive Care
Posted on June 22, 2011
Staying healthy involves commitment – to eating right, staying active, and scheduling regular check-ups with your doctor. At HNE, we want to help you keep that commitment. HNE covers these services 100% – you pay nothing.* We’ve done this for years, not because we have to, but because it is the right thing to do.
What is preventive care?
Preventive care includes periodic health evaluations, like annual physicals. It does not include services to treat an existing illness, injury, or condition.
The health care industry uses medical guidelines to identify preventive care. Medical guidelines describe appropriate care and treatment. Guidelines also indicate what you can do to stay healthy and prevent illness. HNE used these guidelines to decide which services don’t require a copayment.
What services don’t require a copayment?
- Routine Prenatal and Well-child Care
- Adult Routine Exams
- Child and Adult Immunizations
- Annual OB/GYN Exams
- Annual Routine Vision Exams
For plans with a deductible, these in-plan services will not apply to the deductible either.
* Does not apply to any self-funded group that has elected to be a Grandfathered Health Plan (GHP). Federal regulators determine what is a grandfathered plan.
