Wellness guide: Ages 18-39
You may not think about seeing a doctor when you aren't sick. But wellness care is an important way to keep yourself healthy. Many conditions can be identified early, and steps can be taken to reduce the effects or even prevent the disease from progressing. Take care of yourself—make an appointment for your wellness visit today!
Use this resource to better understand general wellness screenings, also called “preventive care.” Your cost for most in-network preventive care, including routine labs will be $0. If you are seeing the doctor for a specific health issue you have now and are having symptoms, you can find the cost for the office visit on the Surest app or website. Search for the doctor's name. Call Member Services for any additional questions.
