Minimum Essential Coverage. What is it?
How are normal annual visits covered? And does this also cover natural health practitioners?

MEC refers to the Affordable Care Act's basic health services that all MEC plans must cover. The Essential plans featured on www.apogeehealth.net are MEC+ plans and cover the minimal essential coverages, free of charge. A full list of these services is available on any of the Essential pages of www.apogeehealthdirect.net.
These plans do not cover annual fitness visits, other than as a trip to a primary care doctor, which each of the plans do cover.
For a definitive answer as to whether your natural health practiticioner's services are covered by any of the Essential or DPC plans, please search for his/her name on our provider directories. These can be found, for each of the plans, by going to apogeehealthdirect.net, the page of the plan you want to investigate and clicking on the buttons on the right side of the benefit grid pertaining to plan's provider network.
