Effective January 1, 2009, CMS is authorized to add coverage of "additional preventive services" through the national coverage determination process if certain statutory requirements are met, as provided under section 101(a) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act.
One of those requirements is that the service(s) be categorized as a grade A or grade B rating by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and meets certain other requirements. The USPSTF strongly recommends screening for all adolescents and adults at risk for HIV infection, as well as all pregnant women. Effective for claims with dates of service on and after December 8, 2009, CMS supports the USPTFS recommendations with the posting of its final decision in this regard.
