YES, BUT grandfathered health plans are excluded.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires both private insurers and Medicare to cover the costs of colorectal cancer screening tests. The law states that there should be no out-of-pocket costs for patients that receive a screening test assigned an A or B rating by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).
However, this rule does not apply to health plans that were in place prior to the ACA. Call your insurance company to find out if you have a grandfathered plan.
