Women's preventive health care

Women’s preventive health care—such as mammograms, screenings for cervical cancer, prenatal care, and other services—is covered at no cost to the employee if you are enrolled in a university medical insurance plan. (This holds true for other insurance plans across the nation, too, since it is a requirement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.) Services must be provided by in-network providers to qualify for 100% coverage.
