Regular health screenings reveal secrets to lifelong vitality
Cost and Accessibility
Many people are concerned about the costs associated with regular health screenings. However, many insurance plans cover preventive services, including screenings, without additional costs to the patient. The Affordable Care Act, for example, requires most health plans to cover a set of preventive services, including screenings, at no cost to the patient4. For those without insurance, community health centers often provide screenings at reduced costs or even free, making them accessible to a broader audience.
