Don’t overlook these unexpected health plan benefits

Español

Your health plan may provide some surprising wellness benefits. Learn about commonly covered things that you may have missed.

Telehealth

Can’t make it to a doctor’s office? Many health plans cover online appointments, often called telemedicine or telehealth, that let you meet a health care professional on your computer or phone.

Immunizations

Health plans often cover vaccinations. Be sure the ones you need are included in your plan and get them at a covered health care provider.

Other services your plan might offer:

  • Gym membership discounts.
  • Programs to quit smoking.
  • Certain diabetes equipment.
  • Other medical equipment.

Find out what your plan provides

Every health plan lists certain mandated benefits it must cover in your policy and evidence of coverage documents. Check your plan’s website and get familiar with those documents to find out what your plan pays for.

If you still have questions or aren’t sure, contact your health plan’s customer service or the insurance agent who signed you up.
