Since 2014, federal law requires most health plans to cover in-network preventive care at no cost to the patient. A lack of clear rules for providers and insurers has resulted in patients getting stuck paying out-of-pocket costs for care that should be free.  Join KY Voices for Health, Health Literacy KY and KCC to learn more about what consumers, providers and policymakers can do. Angela Criswell from Go2 for Lung Cancer and Jason Baird from the Limestone Group will provide updates on lung cancer screening and colon cancer screening coverage.
