New rules required for additional health care

HHS and the Departments of Labor and Treasury have issued temporary final rules requiring group health plans and health insurance treatment providers in both the group and individual markets to supply evidence-based preventive services and get rid of cost-sharing supplies for such services.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act reorganized, amended, and added to the provisions of part A of title of the Public Health Service Act relating to group health plans and individual health insurance issuers in both the group and individual markets. PPACA also added section to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code to incorporate these new provisions into ERISA and the Code, and make them applicable to group health plans and health insurance issuers as long as health insurance coverage in association with group health plans.
