Diagnostic and Preventive Care

Diagnostic Services

OHP covers health care services to find out about your health. If you have a health problem, we will pay for services to find out what is wrong. Some examples of diagnostic services:

  • Health care visits to find out if you have a health problem
  • Blood tests, lab services, X-rays.
  • Mammograms (breast X-rays)

OHP will pay for a second opinion if you want one. You can ask to see another OHP provider or specialist. CCO members must have the CCO's approval to see a provider outside of the plan's network.

Preventive Services

We want to prevent health problems before they happen. You can make this an important part of your care. Please get regular checkups and tests to find out what is happening with your health. Then you can find and treat health problems right away. 

​Shots for children and adults

Dental checkups and fillings

Pregnancy and newborn care

Annual reproductive health exams

Prostate screenings

Yearly checkups 

​OHP covers services to regularly check your child's health and development, such as:

  • Head-to-toe physical exams
  • Hearing and vision checks
  • Mental and behavioral health checks
  • Dental checks
  • Lab tests
  • Growth and development checks
  • Nutrition checks (eating habits)

These checks happen during regular doctor visits. They can also happen at other times if a health problem occurs between visits. If your child needs follow-up visits or special appointments, OHP covers those too. Learn more about what OHP covers for children through age 20​.

​Vaccines according to recommended immunization schedules, including:

  • Flu or COVID vaccine
  • Childhood vaccines such as Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR)
  • Non-routine and travel vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

To Get Diagnostic or Preventive Care:

Ask your primary care provider (PCP). 

Don't have a PCP? If you are in an OHP coordinated care organization (CCO) that covers your care:

  • Call your CCO to choose health providers. You can choose a primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, primary care dentist and more.
  • If you don't want to choose a provider, your CCO may choose one for you to get started.

If you are not in a CCO, you need to see a provider that accepts fee-for-service (open card) OHP. This means the provider bills OHA for services they provide.
