One result of the Affordable Care Act that was passed in 2010 was the movement toward prevention and health promotion.One result is that preventive services are required to be covered by new health insurance plans or policies.When covered by a network provider, HIV screening must be provided by insurance plans without copayment or co-insurance.Osteoporosis is not a problem for young women.Accordingly, screening for this condition would not be covered, nor would it be recommended for a young woman, age 26.Unlike cervical cancer screening which is covered, ovarian cancer screening is not a mandated covered service.By contrast, HIV screening is, indeed, covered in this context.Since the patient is sexually active, it would be appropriate screening for her and the nurse would include it in the discussion.
