What about cost?
Many insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, will cover the cost of recommended screening tests and shots. Also, many preventive services are covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010.
Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get screenings and shots at no cost to you. For infants to adults age 21, the Affordable Care Act also covers regular checkups. Check with your insurance provider.
If you don’t have insurance, you can still get health care. Use this tool to find insurance options for your family. For low-cost or free services, find a health center near you and make an appointment.
