Take charge of your health with free Marketplace insurance benefits for women
You have more options to manage your health now that you have Marketplace health insurance.
Your Marketplace plan includes a long list of free women’s preventive services, such as mammograms, yearly well-woman doctor visits, and other screening tests. Other health care for women, such as pregnancy and childbirth, are all covered by the plan.
Women’s health care is provided at no cost.
- If you have Marketplace coverage, you have access to various preventive services, such as annual well-woman visits and, if you’re at risk for breast cancer, genetic testing. When you visit a provider in the plan’s network, these services are free even before you’ve met your deductible.
