Your health is our top concern
We know healthcare is complicated, but we're committed to helping you get the care you need and understand your benefits.
Note: Benefits under your health plan may differ, so refer to your benefit booklet for information on what your specific health plan covers.
Checkups are important
A regular exam isn't just for kids. Most significant health issues are spotted in a routine office visit. Identifying problems early, before they become more serious and harder to treat, improves outcomes. That's why Premera offers routine preventive medical exams at no cost, as part of your plan benefits. Checkups are also a great time to ensure you're up to date on vaccinations and talk about any concerns.

Tips to avoid surprise costs
- Use in-network healthcare providers. Sign into your account and use Find a Doctor.
- Use in-network labs. We recommend downloading the Premera app and pulling up the list of labs when your doctor orders blood tests. Your app also has your ID card, so you'll never be without it.
- Some doctors and hospitals cost more than others. Compare healthcare costs to see how you can save.
- Some services require pre-approval to be covered.
A checklist for your check-up!
Your plan covers preventive and diagnostic care differently. Check your benefit booklet for specifics. See what qualifies as preventive care.
Did you buy your health plan before March 23, 2010? If so, your plan is known as a grandfathered plan and may not include benefits found in plans sold as part of the Affordable Care Act. View Preventive health screenings for grandfathered plans.

Frequently asked question about preventive care
Are preventive benefits really free?
All plans cover an annual preventive care visit to your primary care doctor. What's covered depends on how old you are, and, in some cases, whether you're at high risk for certain health issues or diseases.
Note: Diagnostic tests given during your preventive visit, such as laboratory work, may not be covered. Check with customer service if you have any questions.
