Do you know the Affordable Care Act of 2010 mandates insurance coverage by all insurances including Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurances to offer coverage for Obesity? The Affordable Care Act will help make wellness and prevention services affordable and accessible to you by requiring health plans to cover preventive services and by eliminating cost-sharing. If you or your family enroll in a new health plan on or after September 23, 2010, then that plan will be required to cover recommended preventive services without charging you a copay, co-insurance or deductible. Because of the Affordable Care Act and the new regulations, new health plans must offer coverage without cost sharing for services that will prevent and control these diseases, like: • Screening for obesity, and counseling from your doctor and other health professionals to promote sustained weight loss, including dietary counseling from your doctor. • Blood pressure screening. • Counseling on the use of daily aspirin to reduce the risk of a stroke • Tests to screen for high cholesterol and diabetes 15 Covered Preventive Services for Adults Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm one-time screening for men of specified ages who have ever smoked Alcohol Misuse screening and counseling Aspirin use for men and women of certain ages Blood Pressure screening for all adults Cholesterol screening for adults of certain ages or at higher risk Colorectal Cancer screening for adults over 50 Depression screening for adults Type 2 Diabetes screening for adults with high blood pressure Diet counseling for adults at higher risk for chronic disease HIV screening for all adults at higher risk Immunization vaccines for adults--doses, recommended ages, and recommended populations vary: Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Herpes Zoster Human Papillomavirus Influenza (Flu Shot) Measles, Mumps, Rubella Meningococcal Pneumococcal Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis Varicella Today, too many Americans don’t get the preventive health care they need to stay healthy, avoid or delay the onset of disease, lead productive lives, and reduce health care costs. Often because of cost, Americans use preventive services at about half the recommended rate. Yet chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes – which are responsible for 7 of 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75 percent of the nation’s health spending – often are preventable. Cost sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments) reduces the likelihood that preventive services will be used. The Affordable Care Act – the health insurance reform legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama - will help make prevention affordable and accessible for all Americans by requiring health plans to cover preventive services and by eliminating cost sharing. See this slide show to learn more the covered preventive services including obesity coverage for all adult
