Introduction
On October 21, 2024, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and of the Treasury (collectively, the Departments) released proposed rules with comment period entitled “Enhancing Coverage of Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act.” These proposed rules would expand access to coverage of recommended preventive services without cost sharing in the commercial market, with a particular focus on reducing barriers to coverage of contraceptive services, including over-the-counter (OTC) contraceptives.
