Plan doesn’t cover yearly physicals?
Hi, I'm a 26 year old woman and I'm trying to sort through having my own insurance for the first time. I have Aetna through my employer and my account says it will only cover a physical once every 24 months for my age range. Is that legal? I thought all plans have to cover a physical once a year under the ACA.

Routine physical exam & immunization
This is a visit to a PCP or pediatrician when no signs of illness are present. Immunizations are injections (shots) you get to prevent disease. Some examples are flu shots, measles, mumps and rubella.
