The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear a case on whether religious non-profit groups should be fully exempt from a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires employee insurance covering contraception.
State Laws
Twenty eight states require insurers that cover prescription drugs to provide coverage of the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive drugs and devices.
Note: Nevada does not exempt any employers but allows religious insurers to refuse coverage. Employers must be offered the option to include coverage of contraceptives within the health plan in Texas and Virginia.
