exam for men. It's on the healthcare.gov website-I just sent the link to a friend a few days ago.

The women's exams are different because they often cost more. I just had a pap a few weeks ago and the price for the test (if insurance hadn't picked up the cost) was nearly $300-and that was for one lab.

The men's services were pretty basic but had additions as the person progressed in age. (Example: colonosopy at age 50, AAA ultrasound at age 65, etc.)
