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.
