How can navigators assist clients in understanding preventive services covered by insurance plans?

Navigators play a crucial role in helping clients understand preventive services covered by insurance plans by providing clear explanations of the importance of these services along with comprehensive lists of the specific activities that are covered. Preventive services are designed to help individuals avoid illness and maintain good health, which can ultimately lead to lower healthcare costs in the long run. By communicating the benefits of such services, navigators empower clients to take proactive steps towards their health.

By also providing lists of covered preventive care activities, navigators ensure that clients are well-informed about what services are available to them at no additional cost. This detailed information allows clients to make educated decisions about their healthcare and encourages them to utilize the preventive services that can help detect or prevent health issues before they become significant problems. This proactive approach is essential in the navigators' role in promoting health literacy and access to necessary healthcare resources.
