Taking care of your health is important. One way to stay healthy is by getting regular checkups and screenings. Many preventive screenings are covered at no cost when you have health insurance through Access Health CT (AHCT). Here’s how to make the most of these benefits.
Know what’s covered
Preventive screenings can help find health problems early when they are easier to treat. Some screenings that may be covered include:
- Annual checkups
- Vaccines
- Blood pressure checks
- Cholesterol tests
- Cancer screenings, such as mammograms and colonoscopies
- Diabetes screenings
Check with your doctor or health plan to see which screenings you need and when to get them.
Schedule regular checkups
Your primary care doctor can help you stay on track with preventive care. If you don’t have a doctor, your insurance carrier can help you find one. Try to schedule your annual checkup in advance so you don’t miss out on important screenings.

Keep track of your health
Bring a list of your health concerns and any medications you take to your appointment. This helps your doctor give you the best care. Ask questions about your test results and what steps to take next.
Take advantage of no-cost services
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many preventive services are covered at no extra cost to you when you see an in-network provider. That means you won’t have to pay out of pocket for certain screenings and vaccines.
Stay on top of your health
Getting preventive screenings is one of the best ways to take care of yourself. By using your health benefits, you can catch potential health issues early and stay healthier in the long run.
