The DOL, HHS and IRS are requesting ideas for alternatives for Providing Contraceptives under plans maintained by employers with religious concerns.

Document Excerpt

This document is a request for information on whether there are alternative ways (other than those offered in current regulations) for eligible organizations that object to providing Coverage for contraceptive services on religious grounds to obtain an accommodation, while still ensuring that women enrolled in the organizations’ health plans have access to seamless coverage of the full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptives without cost sharing. This information is being solicited in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion in Zubik v. Burwell, 136 S. Ct. 1557 (2016). The Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury (collectively, the Departments) invite public comments via this request for information.
