Term

Preventative care.

Routine medical care intended to prevent illness or detect it early, including annual physicals, screenings, vaccinations, and chronic disease management.

In the context of EHP

The EHP program is a preventative care plan because its covered services (primary care visits, screenings, mental health, weight health) qualify under the IRS's definition of preventative care for Section 213(d) purposes. The label matters: preventative care is treated more favorably than curative care under several tax statutes.
