    Preventive vs. Diagnostic Care

    Recognizing the difference between preventive care and diagnostic care is important. The goal of preventive care is disease prevention and early detection. Diagnostic care involves evaluation and treatment of known or suspected conditions. When you receive diagnostic care, you may incur out-of-pocket costs based on your health plan coverage.
