I thought in post-ACA America, all health insurance has to cover 100% of the cost of your annual physical? Were your visits explicitly preventative checkups?

- nradov 5y agoThe ACA requires full insurance coverage of some preventative care but not annual physicals. https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/ https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits...
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI have had healthcare.gov plans on both coasts, and they did include an annual preventative care consultation. I would be surprised if any plan did not. I just schedule it with flu shot. Lab tests may or may not be included, but I have done an annual whatever routine blood test there is showing A1C and lipids and whatnot, and I do not have to pay.
- nradov 5y agoA preventative care consultation and screening lab tests are not a "physical". Those are different CPT4 codes.
