#63: Part 1 of Why Can Preventive Health Services Be Covered by Health Insurance? with Dr. Carol Mangione

Dr. Wendy Slusser

Why can preventive health services be covered by health insurance? Why should we be prioritizing research and screenings that close the evidence gaps in health research? And who can help shift these priorities? That’s the US Preventive Services Task Force. Today, our guest, Dr. Carol Mangione, past appointed chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and UCLA professor and physician, guides us through  onboarding, choosing recommendations, and bridging evidence to make preventive services more accessible for everyone.
