This information is for informational purposes only, does not constitute legal or other advice, and should not be relied upon to determine coverage. Affordable Care Act regulations provide for an exemption from the requirement to cover contraceptive services for certain group health plans established or maintained by organizations that qualify as religious employers. Also, federal regulatory agencies have established an accommodation for religious affiliated eligible organizations, in which case separate payment may be available for certain contraceptive services. Formore information about the religious employer exemption or eligible organization accommodation, please contact us at the phone number on your member ID card.
