Start with preventive benefits
HealthCare.gov publishes adult preventive services. In general, certain services are covered at no cost when conditions are met and care is in network. A visit involving additional tests or treatment may incur charges; confirm the service and billing before your appointment.

Keep your insurance card, providers' phone numbers and recommended appointments in one place. Before seeing a new provider, confirm network participation. Afterwards, review the explanation of benefits and ask about any differences from a bill; keeping both documents helps resolve questions.
Mental health is part of coverage too
Marketplace essential benefits include mental health and substance use treatment. To find care, check the network and ask about availability, visit formats and costs. Inclusion of this category does not guarantee that every therapist participates in your plan.
