  • ACA linked insurance coverage to USPSTF & other similar bodies (ACIP [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices], Bright Futures):
    • For Medicare: Similar to MIPPA [Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008], coverage for "A" & "B" services.
    • For Medicaid: Financial incentive through increase in FMAP [Federal Medical Assistance Percentages] for States that cover "A" & "B" services.
    • For private insurance: Coverage for "A" & "B" services and elimination of co-payments.
