What does preventive OV on my insurance card mean?

Question

Insurance has gotten sooo confusing...is this for cancer related issues? That is all I could find on it without requesting a policy book. Just thought I'd ask you smart people first. :)

Answer 1

Preventative OV = preventative office visit.

A routine checkup/physical.  As opposed to a "sick" office visit, where you're actually going to the doctor for symptoms of some sort.

Answer 2

it's your yearly physical exams and pap.  or for children it's usually more often if they are under 5

Answer 3

I'm assuming this means preventive office visit. In other words, an office visit that isn't a "sick visit".

There's undoubtedly a customer service number on the back of your card -- just call them and ask. Or read the literature that your company handed out when you signed up for the plan.
