Preventative care can help you stay healthy and
reduce overall medical expenses over time.
Preventative healthcare programs address your long-term health and are essential to fighting off future diseases. While important for your health, preventative care can also save you significant money in the long-run. According to the CDC, chronic diseases that are avoidable through preventative care services account for 75% of the United State’s healthcare spending. This lowers the economic output by $260 billion dollars a year. Cost-savings preventative care includes:
-
- Weight loss and management plans
- Vaccination updates
- Smoking cessation plans
- Lifestyle analysis
- Bloodwork testing and analysis
- Routine testing
- Disease monitoring
The Types of Preventative Care
Preventative care can be divided into three essential categories.
Primary preventative care helps prevent future health issues. This includes things like checking and updating vaccinations, monitoring blood pressure, smoking cessation plans, weight management, and analyzing the overall lifestyle.
Secondary preventative care is often determined by screening and helps prevent a disease from developing further. This might include bloodwork and other testing like mammograms.
Tertiary preventative care is used to minimize the progression and symptoms of an established disease. For a diabetic, for example, it may include taking steps to prevent the disease from impacting other areas of the body.
