Preventive Care
Staying Healthy
Your medical benefits through the Washington Teamsters Welfare Trust cover most in-network preventive services, including certain office visits, tests and treatments, at 100%. Having necessary screenings and visits can help detect possible conditions early when treatment is more effective, and lower your risk of serious and costly diseases later.
Preventive care includes covered well-adult and well-child physicals, immunizations, flu shots and appropriate preventive screening tests like mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate exams. Covered eligible in-network preventive care is paid in full by the Trust — with no deductibles, co-insurance or co-pays. In some cases, if you already have a diagnosed medical condition, these types of services may be considered diagnostic rather than preventive and subject to annual deductible, copays, and coinsurance.
In-Network: Eligible services received in the BlueCard® PPO network are covered at 100%.
Out-of-Network: Eligible services received outside of the network are covered at the plan’s out-of-network coinsurance level after a copay per visit and deductible amounts are met.
