Why Preventive Care Is the Most Valuable Part of Your Health Plan

When most business owners think of health benefits, they focus on doctor visits and prescriptions. But the real game-changer—the one benefit that saves money, boosts employee well-being, and keeps teams productive—is preventive care.

What Is Preventive Care?

Preventive care covers all the medical services designed to catch health issues early, or stop them from happening altogether. This includes regular check-ups, immunizations, screenings (like mammograms or blood pressure tests), and counseling for healthy habits.

Why Does Preventive Care Matter So Much?

• Early Detection Saves Lives: Regular screenings find problems before they become serious—often before symptoms even appear.

• Lower Long-Term Costs: Preventing illness is almost always cheaper than treating it later. This means lower claims and more affordable premiums for your business.

• Healthier, Happier Teams: Employees who use preventive care are less likely to miss work, stay healthier, and feel valued by their employer.

• Legal Requirements: Under California and federal law, most group health plans must cover preventive services at no out-of-pocket cost to employees.

How to Maximize Preventive Care in Your Benefits Plan

• Make sure your plan covers a broad range of preventive services, from flu shots to mental health screenings.

• Educate your employees about what’s available—many people don’t realize just how much is covered!

• Encourage staff to schedule their annual check-ups and screenings (maybe offer incentives or reminders).

• Work with your benefits provider (like EPIA!) to ensure your plan meets legal standards and supports your whole team.
