SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACHDNC provides advice and recommendations
to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) on the
development of newborn screening activities, technologies, policies,
guidelines, and programs for effectively reducing morbidity and
mortality in newborns and children having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. ACHDNC reviews and reports regularly on newborn and
childhood screening practices, recommends improvements in the national
newborn and childhood screening programs, and fulfills requirements
stated in the authorizing legislation. In addition, ACHDNC's
recommendations regarding inclusion of conditions for screening on the
Recommended Uniform Screening Panel, following adoption by the
Secretary, are evidence-informed preventive health services provided
for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by HRSA pursuant to
section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-13).
Under this provision, non-grandfathered group health plans and health
insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or individual health
insurance are required to provide insurance coverage without cost-
sharing (a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible) for preventive
services for plan years (i.e., policy years) beginning on or after the
date that is 1 year from the Secretary's adoption of the condition for
screening.
The charter renewal for the ACHDNC was approved on October 29,
2024. The filing date is November 10, 2024. Renewal of the ACHDNC
