- USPSTF meeting canceled again
The March meeting of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) was canceled for a third time. HHS said the meeting will be rescheduled in the coming months.
The backstory: The proposed agenda included a discussion regarding self-collection for human papillomavirus (HPV) cervical cancer screening.
The impact: The USPSTF, created by statute and meeting for about 40 years, plays a key role in preventive care coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act. The task force did not issue its annual research report to Congress in 2025 and has open seats following member departures last year.
