Preventive Care

Stay on top of your recommended screenings and vaccines based on your age and gender. View our listing of preventative care services.

Preventive vs. diagnostic care

What’s the difference? Preventive care helps protect you from getting sick. If your doctor recommends you have services even though you have no symptoms, that’s preventive care. Diagnostic care is when you have symptoms and your doctor recommends services to determine what’s causing those symptoms. Review Anthem's Preventative Care benefits including physical exams, tests, immunizations and women's preventive care for further details.
