Nothing is more important than your health. And nothing is more important to protecting your health than receiving regular preventive care. That's why your MCHA health plan provides coverage for preventive visits. We want you to visit your doctor regularly for important screenings and immunizations that ensure you stay as healthy as possible. To learn more about recommended screenings for you and your family, use our helpful guides to preventive services and immunization schedules below.

MCHA is committed to keeping its members informed about how to live healthy. Please let us know how you prefer to receive information from us about living healthy by completing a short survey.

What is covered under your preventive benefit?

Health care services are covered as "preventive care" by MCHA when the patient has no complaint about his/her health and there is no existing medical condition being treated at the time of the preventive care appointment.  In deciding what to cover under your preventive benefit, MCHA consults guidelines developed by such independent medical organizations as the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, the American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control, and United States Preventive Services Task Force.

For in-network and out-of-network benefits, see your MCHA Policy of Coverage. Call MCHA Customer Service at the number listed on the back of your ID card or visit Find a Doctor on Medica.com for help in identifying an in-network physician.
