A Legal Win for Preventive Services and How American Exchange Helps You Expand Access and Compliance
Preventive care coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) just received a major legal safeguard.
On August 22, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio issued an order granting a preliminary injunction blocking the rollback of key ACA preventive care mandates. This decision, stemming from the Braidwood v. Becerra litigation, prevents enforcement of prior rulings that would have allowed insurers to stop covering preventive services without cost-sharing.

What the Ruling Means
This court order effectively maintains access to dozens of preventive services without copays, including:
-
Cancer screenings
-
HIV prevention and PrEP
-
Blood pressure and cholesterol checks
-
Mental health and substance use assessments
-
Maternal and child health screenings
The ruling preserves the status quo while broader litigation continues, ensuring that millions of Americans can still receive essential preventive care without financial barriers.
Why It Matters for Providers
Hospitals, clinics, and community-based organizations rely on preventive services to:
-
Improve early diagnosis and outcomes
-
Reduce long-term care costs
-
Fulfill public health mandates
-
Support underserved populations
-
Maximize 340B benefits when services lead to prescription care
Without this ruling, providers faced uncertainty in billing practices, coverage determinations, and compliance burdens. With it, preventive care remains a reliable, cost-free resource for patients.
The Coverage Gap Still Exists
Despite the ruling, many patients have already lost Medicaid coverage during redeterminations—or were never insured in the first place. These individuals still face barriers accessing the very preventive services the court just protected.
That’s where American Exchange can help.
