Preventive and routine medical care are covered by your Lam medical plan—with no cost to you for preventive care.
Preventive vs. diagnostic care
Preventive care is an important step toward maintaining good health. Think of it as an early warning system: Regular checkups—including age-appropriate tests and procedures—can alert your doctor if you’re at risk for disease. And with early detection and intervention, preventive care can help keep minor issues from becoming serious problems.
Preventive care and some preventive prescription medications are available at no cost to you.
Diagnostic care is available when you’re not feeling well or are showing signs that your health status is changing. When you visit your doctor for diagnosis and treatment, you’ll pay your share of the cost through your plan’s deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
Note the difference
You get free preventive care—like checkups and routine lab tests—when you’re symptom-free. You pay for diagnostic care when your doctor analyzes and treats your symptoms.
Where to get care
When you or your covered family members need an annual physical, other preventive care services, or treatment for a non-life-threatening illness or injury, contact your doctor.
