Free or Low-Cost Preventive Health Care Services

Preventive Health Care Guidelines

At MetroPlusHealth, we always want you to be at your best. That’s why we encourage you and your family to take advantage of preventive care services available to you at low or no cost. We’ve listed dozens of FREE preventive services here for adults, women and children that just may help you be your healthiest yet.

How Does it Work?

To get covered services, you need to see providers in the MetroPlusHealth network. Receiving care from out-of-network doctors or providers is not covered, and you may have to pay for the medical services if you go out of network.

But, if an urgent medical issue happens outside of our service area, you will be completely covered if you go to an emergency room. That’s anywhere nationwide, whether it’s in our network or not.

Did you know that you can get your medications pre-packaged for free? We offer two ways to do it: through any CVS pharmacy or home-delivered by PillPack. Get the details here (PDF).

MetroPlusHealth wants our members to be healthy. Take advantage of our gym and wellness benefit reimbursement program and maximize your results at minimal cost to you. Learn more here.

All MetroPlusHealth Gold members have access to a mail order option for their medications. Access the mail order form here: https://www.caremark.com/portal/asset/mof_unauth.pdf

*Except for emergency room visits which have a $100.00 co-pay (waived if you’re admitted to the hospital) and urgent care visits which have a $25 copay.
**The payout may be considered taxable income, and subject to state and federal taxes in the tax year you get it. We recommend that you consult a professional tax expert with any questions.
***for those who qualify

Due to changes in IRS regulations, if you would like a copy of your 1095-B form, please contact Member Services to request one.

MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit

Access to a doctor—whenever and wherever you need it!

MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is the fast, easy way for our members to see a provider for common physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues that are not emergencies. MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is available anytime, from anywhere in New York State, 24/7 – and in your language.

Know your rights and protections against surprise medical bills!

When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.

Are you receiving care at an NYC Health + Hospitals facility?

Manage Your Health Online With MyChart. Members who receive care at NYC Health + Hospital facilities now have access to MyChart. MyChart is a free secure portal you can use to manage your health information. MyChart allows you to:

  • Message your primary care provider’s office
  • Request refills of your prescription drugs
  • Access your test results
  • Schedule appointments
