<summary>This notice seeks comment on draft recommendations for the HRSA-supported Women's Preventive Services Guidelines ("Guidelines") relating to Screening and Counseling for Intimate Partner and Domestic Violence, Breast Cancer Screening for Women at Average Risk, and Patient Navigation for Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening. These draft recommendations have been developed by the Women's Preventive Services Initiative (WPSI), through which clinicians, academics, and expert health professionals develop draft recommendations for HRSA's consideration. Under applicable law, non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers must include coverage, without cost sharing, for certain preventive services, including those provided for in the HRSA-supported Guidelines. The Departments of Labor, HHS, and Treasury have issued regulations and policy guidance which describe how group health plans and health insurance issuers apply the coverage requirements.</summary>
<dates>Members of the public are invited to provide written comments no later than November 21, 2024. All comments received on or before this date will be reviewed and considered by WPSI and provided for further consideration by HRSA in determining the recommended updates that it will support.</dates>
