Taking Care of Yourself
One of your most important Horizon BCBSNJ benefits is your wellness and preventive care coverage. Taking advantage of covered preventive care services – screenings, checkups and counseling – may improve your health and help you avoid illness. Early detection of any illness offers your best chance of recovery. When you see your PCP, routine preventive care is available at no additional cost to you.
We encourage you to visit your PCP for your annual physical exam and preventive care services. Your PCP may order tests and X-rays, refer you to an in-network specialist or arrange for other services, if needed.
Well care and preventive care coverage includes:
- Annual physical exams
- Well child care (including immunizations and lead screenings)
- Cancer screenings (including colorectal, breast, cervical and prostate screenings)
- Tests (laboratory work, X-rays)
- Annual dilated retinal exams for members who have been diagnosed with diabetes
Preventive Health Guidelines
Horizon BCBSNJ wants to help you achieve your best health. Talk with your PCP about which screenings and immunizations are right for you. Here’s where to start:
- Schedule an annual physical exam.
- Ask your doctor about the screenings, examinations and immunizations that may be appropriate for you.
Please refer to your SPD or Benefit Booklet for more details to find out which services and supplies are covered under your benefits.
