Health Care Reform: Preventive Care Guidelines for Women
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires non-grandfathered health plans to cover preventive health services without imposing cost-sharing requirements for the services.

These new guidelines, which are effective for plan years beginning on or after Aug. 1, 2012, require non-grandfathered health plans to cover women's preventive health services (such as well-woman visits, breastfeeding support, domestic violence screening and contraceptives) without charging a copayment, a deductible or coinsurance.
