What is covered as preventive care?

HealthSelect of Texas^® medical plans, including Consumer Directed HealthSelect^SM, cover most preventive screenings and services with no out-of-pocket costs, like copays or coinsurance, when you visit an in-network provider. This is true even if you haven’t met your deductible, if your plan has one.

Covered preventive care services available to HealthSelect^SM participants and covered dependents (children and adults) include:

• general health screenings,
• immunizations,
• health counseling,
• cancer screenings,
• prevention-related screening for pregnant women and
• some age- and gender-specific screenings.

If you are enrolled in HealthSelect of Texas, you must have a primary care provider (PCP) on file with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) to get the highest level of benefits. Eligible participants may even be able to earn a reward through the HealthSelectShoppERS^SMprogram for some preventive screenings.
