On August 1, 2012, provisions in the health care law requiring insurance companies to cover contraceptives with no co-pay went into effect...This means that eventually all women with private insurance will get the full range of FDA-approved birth control methods...A segment of religious employers, such as churches and other houses of worship, will be exempt from this contraceptive coverage requirement. The Administration also has proposed an “accommodation” for other, undefined non-profit “religious organizations”..., but ensures that the women who work for them still receive contraceptive coverage without a co-pay. Rules implementing this “accommodation” and the final group of religious employers who are exempted should be finalized by Aug. 1, 2013.
