US News & World Report (12/11, Leonard) reports that many patients “struggle with confusion about what prevention services insurance covers under” the ACA. Under the ACA, most plans cover a set of preventive services including vaccines, colonoscopies, mammograms, pap smears, and diabetes screenings. Patients “are soon discovering, however, that anything else discussed during a visit with their health care providers could cost them.” Moreover, physicians don’t always tell patients about the possibility of fees up front.
