Preventive Care
Preventive care means going to your primary care provider (PCP) before you feel sick. This lets your PCP check your health, which helps find health issues early on and will help you stay healthy. HPSM covers all preventive care visits – so whether it’s for you or your child, you pay no cost. Preventive care includes vital health services like:
- Checkups, screenings and tests for early detection of problems (such as diabetes and
heart disease) – so you can get treated as soon as possible. HPSM CareAdvantage members are eligible to receive Cinemark Prepaid Movie Tickets for completing their breast and/or colorectal cancer screenings – learn more.
- Vaccinations to keep you from getting diseases like the flu and COVID-19.
- Referrals from your doctor to medical or behavioral health specialists if
you need their services.
- Prescriptions for medications that you may need to treat your health
conditions.
- Advice from your doctor about good self-care, including how to eat a healthy diet and
get enough exercise.
