BCHC signed onto a letter sponsored by the National Women’s Law Center to urge the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, and Department of the Treasury to:
- revise the Affordable Care Act (ACA) contraceptive coverage regulations;
- support the rescission of the moral exemption and oppose any alternative to rescission;
- oppose the sweeping religious exemption currently in place;
- consider making the accommodation required again;
- make the Individual Contraceptive Arrangement (ICA) work well in practice;
- ensure consumer eligibility and range of providers are as broad as possible;
- proactively and broadly publicize the ICA;
- actively recruit and incentivize payers and providers;
- support providers implementation of the ICA;
- issue guidance and take immediate enforcement action to bring the insurance industry into compliance with the ACA contraceptive coverage requirement, and
- vigilantly oversee and enforce every aspect of the contraceptive coverage requirement.
