The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit June 21 partially affirmed the district court judgment that the Preventative Services Task Force charged with determining coverage of certain preventative services was unconstitutional, as well as the grant of injunctive relief for the plaintiffs in the case. However, the 5th Circuit significantly limited the scope of the relief granted by the district court, reversing the universal remedies entered, and remanded the case to the district court to address certain questions raised for the first time on appeal.  

The AHA and others previously urged the 5th Circuit to protect the ACA’s mandatory coverage of these preventative services.
