The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has issued a revised recommended preventive service: screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults aged 18 to 79 years.
This recommendation expands the individuals recommended for screening from adults born between 1945-1965 and individuals at high risk to all adults aged 18-79. Non-grandfathered group health plans must cover this service, without cost-sharing, effective for plan years beginning on or after March 2, 2021 (January 1, 2022 for calendar year plans).
The ACA requires that non-grandfathered group health plans cover, without cost-sharing, all preventive services with an A or B rating from the USPSTF.
