Preventive care for all
As a Tufts Health Direct member, you can see a primary care provider or obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) for a yearly checkup at no cost to you.
Ask your provider about the following screenings:
- Pap test — cervical cancer often can be cured when it’s found early. Fortunately, it can usually be found early through regular Pap tests.
- Mammogram — women ages 40 to 74 should have a regular mammogram. Ask your provider how often you should have a mammogram.

After you have your baby, be sure to remember your after-delivery (postpartum) appointment. Make the appointment as soon after giving birth as possible. Use our searchable Find a Doctor, Hospital or Pharmacy tool if you need to find a doctor.
Make sure you stay current on your child’s shots (immunizations). Shots can help keep kids healthy. Shots protect your child from harmful diseases like measles, chickenpox and hepatitis A and B.
