[[Page 10088]]

2023, and January 5, 2024, concerning updates to the Bright Futures 
Periodicity Schedule as part of the HRSA-supported preventive services 
guidelines for infants, children, and adolescents. These documents 
contained minor errors related to updates to two footnotes, including 
an error in the text of footnote 15 and an error in the description of 
footnote 21. These minor corrections align with information provided to 
the public on the Bright Futures web page and referenced by HRSA in the 
October 24, 2023, Federal Register notice that sought public comment on 
the proposed updates to the Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule. These 
corrections do not change the clinical recommendations in the Bright 
Futures Periodicity Schedule or the associated requirement for certain 
group health plans and health insurance issuers to provide coverage 
without cost-sharing under section 2713 of the Public Health Service 
Act.

Health Advisor, Division of Child, Adolescent and Family Health,
