Transition Policy Extended for Non-ACA Compliant Plans
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently extended an existing transition policy for non-ACA compliant plans through the end of 2018. The extension is available for individual or small group market plans meeting certain criteria. Insurers have the option to renew non-compliant coverage into 2018, not to exceed December 31, 2018. The goal of this approach is to ease the change from transitional coverage to Affordable Care Act-compliant coverage. For more information, view the February 23, 2017 letter from the CMS Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversight.
Amended Medical Coverage Policy

Effective Date of Change
Description of Changes
Preventive Health Benefit
04/01/17
Updated to allow virtual colonoscopy with pre-authorization. Added that Cologuard and Epi proColon tests will not be covered.

Note:  Recent studies have shown that Cologuard has no added advantage, and Epi proColon test has low sensitivity for detecting cancer compared to other available colon cancer screening tests. Therefore, coverage is discontinued for both tests under preventive or medical benefit.
