.8. No copays for birth control, breast pumps & domestic violence screening.All new plans must cover certain preventive services such as mammograms and colonoscopies without charging a deductible, co-pay or coinsurance.

Read the Law.
SEC. 2713 [42 U.S.C. 300gg–13]. COVERAGE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES.
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall, at a minimum provide coverage for and shall not impose any cost sharing requirements for—
‘‘(1) evidence-based items or services that have in effect a rating of ‘A’ or ‘B’ in the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force;
‘‘(2) immunizations that have in effect a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with respect to the individual involved; and
‘‘(3) with respect to infants, children, and adolescents, evidence-informed preventive care and screenings provided for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Re- sources and Services Administration.
‘‘(4) with respect to women, such additional preventive care and screenings not described in paragraph (1) as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Re- sources and Services Administration for purposes of this paragraph.
‘‘(5) for the purposes of this Act, and for the purposes of any other provision of law, the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Service Task Force regarding breast cancer screening, mammography, and prevention shall be considered the most current other than those issued in or around November 2009.
Last summer, HHS released new insurance market rules under the Affordable Care Act requiring all new private health plans to cover several evidence-based preventive services like mammograms, colonoscopies, blood pressure checks, and childhood immunizations without charging a copayment, deductible or coinsurance. The Affordable Care Act also made recommended preventive services free for people on Medicare.
The announcement builds on that progress by making sure women have access to a full range of recommended preventive services without cost sharing, including:
■well-woman visits;
■screening for gestational diabetes;
■human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing for women 30 years and older;
■sexually-transmitted infection counseling;
■human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening and counseling;
■FDA-approved contraception methods and contraceptive counseling;
■breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling; and
■domestic violence screening and counseling.
