Preventive Care

It’s important to put your health first. The key to a healthy life is staying up to date on your preventive care.

We know that life gets busy, and it can be hard to take time for yourself, but many women face avoidable health problems later in life that could have been caught and managed or treated sooner. That’s why Astellas prioritizes your preventive care. 

Preventive care is free when you receive services in-network. There are no copays, coinsurance, or deductibles to meet. So, get those important checkups at no cost (just make sure your provider indicates the services are preventive care when you visit).
