Does anyone have a clue what the following really means or how to get more details in terms of what current insurers must cover for preventative services under the new law?
In 2010, new law:
Requires qualified health plans to provide, at a minimum, coverage without cost sharing for preventive services rated A or B by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, recommended immunizations, preventive care for infants, children and adolescents and additional preventive care.
Reason I ask is that my current retiree plan does not cover any preventative such as annual physicals, mammograms, colonoscopy, etc.
I have to pay for the above 100% and they will not even help get discounts and my costs do not count against the $2000 deductable.
Does the new law require them to now? I want to fight them on this but need some amunition first.
Thanks for the help.
