Preventive Care Implementation

[Mike_O]

I was wondering if there is guidance regarding how often self-insured plans need to implement updates to the USPSTF A and B Preventive Care Recommendations.  How soon after a recommendation is released must a non-grandfathered plan implement it as a covered preventive service without cost sharing?

Why do you ask?

I found a Segal bulletin on this (see footnote 6) that references one year after the guideline is issued, but I don't see any regulation cited.  Do you know where that reference comes from?

You can find the regulation at Section 2713 of the PHS Act
