PREVENTIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS At NPL, we encourage you to obtain preventive care services and health screenings, as appropriate for your age, to help maintain or improve your health & achieve your health and wellness goals. Regular preventive care visits and health screenings may help to identify potential health risks for early diagnosis and treatments, helping you live a healthier life.
This applies to both the PPO and HSA plans. That means NO money out of your pocket to have routine preventive screenings done by your doctor.
Preventive screenings vary by gender and age. To see what screenings you should have, please visit www.uhcpreventivecare.com and enter your age and gender for a personalized list of recommended screenings and immunizations.
All preventive screenings provided by an innetwork provider are covered at 100% with no copays, deductibles or co-insurance necessary.
