CANCER SCREENINGS
It is important to get regular cancer screenings because some types of cancers don’t have obvious symptoms in the early stages. Screening exams can help doctors find and treat some types of cancer early.
Can I participate?
Employees that have active medical coverage through Texas Health Resources and are within the recommended age range are eligible for one reward per screening each year.

1 You may earn only one reward each year for each type of cancer screening.
2 One well exam per year is covered in full if the claims administrator determines the physical is for preventive care. Additional screenings or services will be considered diagnostic services and will be covered after you pay the applicable copay or deductible and coinsurance. At the time of your preventive care visit, if other services are performed that are not preventive services, as determined by the claims administrator, they will not be paid at 100% even if they are submitted as part of a claim for preventive care.
