Health plans must cover all FDA-approved contraceptive methods and services without cost-sharing, including contraception, sterilization, patient education, and counseling.

Health plans must provide at least one of each type of FDA-approved contraceptive method in their formulary and cannot impose referral requirements, restrictions, or delays for contraceptive services.

Prescription contraceptives must be covered with a 12-month supply, with the prescribing provider determining the appropriate number of months up to 12.

Religious employers and certain closely held for-profit entities with religious objections can opt out of coverage if they provide 30 days' notice to employees listing which contraceptive methods they refuse to cover.

Eligible organizations granted accommodations must have health plans provide separate payments for any contraceptive methods or services to enrollees at no cost to the organization, plan, or enrollee.

Medical assistance (Medicaid) coverage requirements mirror private health plan requirements for contraceptive coverage and 12-month supply limits, effective January 1, 2022.
