Preventive care

Taking care of your health starts with a few simple steps. From annual checkups to recommended screenings and vaccines, preventive care helps you stay healthy and catch issues early.

What's covered?

Preventive care focuses on your overall health, and most preventive services and regular screenings are covered at no cost when you use an in-network provider.

If your visit turns into a discussion of a new symptom or condition, it may be considered diagnostic care. Claims for diagnostic care include out-of-pocket costs, such as a deductible, copay or coinsurance. For example, if you're at your annual checkup and talk to your doctor about a recent back injury, that portion of your appointment may be billed as diagnostic care.

If the clinical eligibility requirements shown below are met, you, your spouse and children are eligible to take the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test once every 12 months at no cost to you.

Galleri® is a simple blood test that detects a cancer signal across more than 50 types of cancer. In order to request the test, you must go through Genome Medical. Learn how to access this benefit on the genetic testing and counseling page.

Eligibility: you, your spouse/partner, or child must be:

  • Age 50 or over, or
  • Between age 22–49, AND:
    • have previously had cancer (excluding basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin) and are 3+ years out of treatment;
    • have a first-degree relative (parent, child and/or full sibling) who has had cancer;
    • be a smoker or have quit smoking in the last 10 years; or
    • have had previous genetic testing and were found to have a gene mutation confirming an increased cancer risk due to a hereditary cancer syndrome (e.g., BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome, CHEK2). Please note that a clinical report from an accredited laboratory that performs clinical grade genetic testing is required; this excludes tests from 23andMe, Ancestry.com and other direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies. A consultation with a genetic counselor is required if you have had a previous gene mutation in order to confirm the finding.

If you are enrolled in MetLife Accident, Critical Illness, or Hospital Indemnity, you may be eligible to receive a cash benefit for completing a preventive screening.

FAQs

Many preventive services are covered at no cost to you when you use in-network providers, as long as the provider bills using specific preventive coding. Be sure to confirm your provider is in-network and that the service is considered preventive under your plan.

Preventive visits focus on routine care, such as checkups, screenings and immunizations. They do not include diagnosing or treating new or existing conditions. If you bring up a new symptom or concern, this portion of the visit may be considered diagnostic care, which means you may be responsible for a copay, coinsurance or deductible based on your plan.

You may receive a bill if:

  • You discussed a new symptom or condition.
  • Additional tests or services were performed.
  • Your provider was out-of-network.
  • The service isn't considered preventive under your plan.

Most preventive services are covered once per year, but timing and frequency may vary based on your plan and your provider's recommendations. You can call your plan's member services number for more information.

When scheduling your appointment, let your provider know it's for a preventive visit. This can help ensure services are billed correctly.
