Preventive Care Benefits
In accordance with new preventive care guidelines, the list of additional preventive care benefits on your plan may have changed. If applicable, these changes will be effective on 1/1/20.
Please see your Schedule of Benefits as your member cost sharing may have changed for the following preventive services, tests and devices: blood pressure monitor, retinopathy screening, and international normalized ratio (INR) testing.
If you’re enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HSA) that provides the “Preventive Drug Benefit”, your plan will now cover selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) medications without applying your plan deductible. Your ID card will include the words “Preventive Drug Benefits” if you have this coverage.
The below coverage applies to all fully insured commercial Maine plans.
