All Marketplace plans cover a set of preventative services to prevent illness, disease, and other health problems at no cost to you, even if you haven’t met your yearly deductible. These services are free only when you get them from a doctor or other provider in your plan’s network. Contact your health plan, or your broker to see which providers are “in-network”. You can also ask your preferred doctor if they accept your current health plan in-network.
