Most preventive services, including some cancer screenings, are included in your plan at no additional cost.* You may have to pay for services to check on an existing issue or diagnose a health concern. If your plan has a deductible, you’ll pay most medical costs, like labs, MRIs, and hospital stays until you meet your deductible. And some high tech radiology, like MRIs, may have a higher cost share. Please click here to check your plan cost information for more details. *Under certain conditions, costs may apply.
