Providing people with affordable insurance and having health centers that offer assistance to those without insurance are the best ways to give people preventive medicine.
The emergency room is not a primary care provider that offers preventive medicine. Still, going to an ER is the first step in treatment for many people without insurance as they cannot meet with a PCP. Preventive medicine:
- Prevents chronic diseases: Instead of waiting for the problem to be severe enough to go to the hospital, people with a PCP can visit their doctor as soon as they realize something is off. This early intervention increases the likelihood of addressing the concern while it’s still in its early stages, resulting in less invasive, less expensive treatments. More advanced ailments have a higher chance of having long-term side effects, and the proper care can prevent some conditions entirely.
- Lowers overall health care costs: Treating concerns earlier usually means less chance of needing medication, long-term care or surgical intervention, resulting in fewer costs overall for you. It also costs less money for the health care system because every treatment option costs money, and the less treatment you need, the better your chances of not needing more assistance later in life.
