HHS: Guidelines for Women’s Preventive Services HRSA-16-057The purpose of this project is to improve adult women's health across the lifespan by engaging a coalition of health professional organizations to recommend updates to the HRSA-supported Women's Preventive Services Guidelines. Under Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148 (42 U.S.C. 300gg-13), non-grandfathered group health plans and non-grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage must include coverage, without cost sharing, for the preventive services identified in that section, including those provided for in the HRSA-supported Women's Preventive Services Guidelines.

1) Establish a process for developing and regularly recommending updates to the guidelines for women's preventive services;
2) Obtain participation by health professional organizations on developing recommended guidelines for women's preventive services;
3) Review and synthesize existing guidelines and new scientific evidence for women's preventive services;
4) Develop recommended guidelines for women's preventive services;
