The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently updated its preventive services guidelines to expand the list of women’s preventive services that group health plans are required to cover under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Preventing Obesity in Midlife Women.
The guideline recommends counseling for midlife women aged 40 to 60 years with normal or overweight body mass index to prevent obesity. In addition, the update revises the following five services:
- Breastfeeding Services and Supplies.
- Contraception.
- Screening for HIV Infection.
- Counseling for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
