The Affordable Care Act has significantly expanded coverage options for adolescents and young adults. One potential problem that has emerged is the need to reconcile the need for state statutes for confidential health care with health plans’ reliance on Explanation of Benefits.

Learning Areas:

Ethics, professional and legal requirements
Public health or related laws, regulations, standards, or guidelines
Public health or related public policy

Learning Objectives:
Explain the importance of the provision of confidential care for adolescents and young adults. Discuss the options that exist that would enable a reconciliation of access to confidential care with Explanation of Benefit requirements.
