Before You Go How You Pay for Care Special Programs and Services Learn More What’s the difference between preventive care and diagnostic care? Preventive care includes tests, screenings and visits to help you stay healthy. Based on the results of a preventive care test or screening, your doctor might recommend diagnostic care services. Diagnostic care means your doctor is looking for more information to diagnose a specific health problem. For example, let’s say you get a mammogram. After reading the results, your doctor recommends a follow-up scan to confirm your diagnosis. The follow-up scan would be considered diagnostic care, so if you go to an in-network provider, you would pay 20% after meeting your deductible.
