Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most health plans are required to cover specific preventive services with $0 copay, regardless of whether you have met your deductible. This applies to Marketplace plans, most employer-sponsored plans, and Medicare.
Common $0 Services
- Check-ups: Annual wellness exams for adults, women, and children.
- Vaccinations: Routine shots like the flu shot, Tetanus, and Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR).
- Screenings: Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and various cancer screenings (e.g., mammograms, colonoscopies) based on age and risk factors.
