Abstract: This document proposes amendments to rules regarding coverage for certain preventive services under section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, and incorporated into the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act requires coverage without cost sharing of certain preventive health services, including certain contraceptive services, in non-exempt, nongrandfathered group health plans and health insurance coverage. The proposed rules would establish accommodations for contraceptive coverage for health coverage established or maintained by eligible organizations with religious objections to contraceptive services.
