Newborn Screenings Covered Without Cost-Sharing
If the HHS Secretary adopts a condition for newborn screening, non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or individual plans must cover that screening without cost-sharing. That coverage requirement applies for plan years beginning on or after the date that is 1 year from the Secretary's adoption of the condition for screening.
