Can I tell you something that happened to me recently? I had a broken windshield and automatically assumed I had to pay my car insurance deductible. Sound familiar? Most people do the same thing with their health insurance — they assume EVERY medical bill means paying their full deductible first.
That is simply not true — and it could be costing you hundreds of dollars every single year.
Here's what your insurance company isn't telling you:
These services are covered BEFORE you even touch your deductible:
- ✅ Annual physical exams
- ✅ Preventive care visits
- ✅ Vaccines and immunizations
- ✅ Certain cancer screenings
- ✅ Well woman visits
- ✅ Depression screenings
These are covered at 100% by law under the ACA — regardless of whether you've met your deductible or not!
The one question that could save you money RIGHT NOW:
Before every single doctor's appointment ask this:
"Is this visit subject to my deductible or is it covered as preventive?"
That one question. Every time. I've seen people pay bills they never had to pay simply because they didn't know to ask. Want to know exactly what YOUR plan covers before your deductible?
