County Health Plan announces 100% coverage for certain preventive benefits

The County Health Plan will focus on Wellness for 2007 by promoting valuable coverage for prevention as well as other programs related to health and wellness.

On Feb. 1, 2007, the CHP will begin providing preventive care at 100 percent for all standard-funded CHP member groups for certain preventive health benefits; meaning you will have no out-of-pocket expenses when you or your covered dependents seek preventive care at an in-network provider. Groups that renew Jan. 1, 2007 will be getting this benefit effective on their renewal date.

Such things as routine well-person visits, mammograms, annual physical exams and other preventive care, will be covered in-network at 100 percent without a co-pay. Click here to see a listing of some of the preventive services that are covered in this program at 100 percent; please note there are certain age and date requirements for these.

By taking better advantage of their health coverage, your employees will save money and stay healthy and on the job!  By the end of January, employees will receive new ID cards with “Wellness 0%” to signify the new benefit.
