10+ HIV-related Preventive Services Covered by Marketplace Plans
Topics
Did you know: Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), all Marketplace health plans and many other plans must cover a set of preventive services to prevent illness, disease, and other health problems at no cost to you, even if you haven’t met your yearly deductible. These services are free only when you get them from a doctor or other provider in your plan’s network. (Contact your health plan to see which providers are "in-network.")
Covered Preventive Services
Preventive services include things like screenings, tests, check-ups, and counseling. Many are important tools in addressing the syndemic (linked, interacting health problems) of HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and substance use and mental health disorders as called for in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan, and STI National Strategic Plan. Here are some of benefits available to adults with Marketplace coverage:
