Last week, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury issued additional guidance regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"). This guidance addresses the requirement that group health plans provide certain preventive items and services without cost-sharing. The regulations are effective for plan years beginning on or after September 23, 2010. The regulations do not apply to grandfathered plans. Please see our previous alert regarding grandfathered group health plans at http://www.daypitney.com/news/newsDetail.aspx?pkID=3213.
A complete list of recommendations and guidelines related to preventive services can be found at http://www.healthcare.gov/center/regulations/prevention.html. The regulations acknowledge that the recommended preventive services may change from time to time. A group health plan is not required to provide coverage after the recommendation or guideline is no longer described by the regulations, and a group plan is required to cover only those preventive services that are recommended at least one year prior to the start of the plan year.
The regulations provide that cost-sharing may be permitted under certain circumstances, including the following:
If you have any questions about the new preventive care requirements or any other matter involving PPACA implementation, please contact a member of the firm's Employee Benefits/Executive Compensation group.
