Health Screening for Men


Just like women, men are covered for a variety of health screenings under the Affordable Care Act. These preventative services are provided without you having to pay a co-payment, co-insurance or towards meeting your deductible. The services need to be performed by one of your network providers.

Services covered for adult males include:
  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
  • Alcohol Misuse
  • Aspirin use
  • Blood pressure screening
  • Cholesterol screening
  • Colorectal cancer screening
  • Depression screening
  • Type 2 diabetes screening
  • Diet Counseling
  • HIV screening
  • Immunization vaccines
  • Obesity screening
  • Sexually transmitted infections
  • Tobacco use screening
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force has put out a guideline for health screenings for men. For more information check our Preventative Health page.
