How will the law improve access to preventive care?
Beginning on or after Sept. 23, 2010, plans that became effective after March 23, 2010, must, upon renewal, eliminate any cost-sharing for preventive services covered under the contract. Plans that were in effect on or before March 23, 2010, referred to as “grandfathered” plans, are not required to provide this additional benefit at this time unless or until their grandfathered status is lost.
