Insurance Term - Preventive Care

An approach to healthcare which emphasizes preventive measures and health screenings such as routine physicals, well-baby care, immunizations, diagnostic lab and x-ray tests, pap smears, mammograms, and other early detection testing. The purpose of offering coverage for preventive care is to diagnose a problem early, when it is less costly to treat, rather than at a late stage of a disease when it is much more expensive or too late to treat.
