Overview
Patients should have access to effective, quality, evidence-based care they need without concern or fear of discrimination. Preventive health care is essential to promote long-term wellness, reduce incidence of disease, and save money for consumers. Millions of women have benefitted from the ACA requirement that contraceptives and other preventive services be covered by health plans without cost sharing. In our comments, we detail considerations for the Departments on how to bolster access to contraceptive services at no cost to the individual in the small minority of situations where their employer does not provide this coverage, including areas where operational issues should be addressed.
