According to The New York Times , three of the four major companies already offer health care prevention services to their employees. But now, small businesses and individuals will enjoy these same benefits.
benefits of wellness and prevention services will be included in all new health insurance plans as of September. Medicare beneficiaries will be eligible for free preventive care starting next year in January. People on old insurance policies will not have the benefits of welfare until they change policies or whether their plans are restructured.
The best part about preventive services that insurance companies will not charge consumers for them. All co-payments and deductibles will be covered by the insurance policy.
Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health said, "This is transformative. We spend an insurance model that was based on the treatment of disease and injury, to a model that focuses on improving the health of an individual and to identify risk factors. "
health and Human Services will be writing regulations and rules for the new benefits. HHS will determine what services should be considered preventive care.
It will be interesting to see if the new plans for preventive services will increase the overall health of Americans and the Americans enjoy the benefits.
