In a press release issued January 20, 2012, HHS announced that nonprofit employers who, based on religious beliefs, do not currently provide contraceptive coverage in their insurance plan, will have until August 1, 2013 to comply with the new law. Recall that beginning August 1, 2012, most new and renewed health plans will be required to cover all FDA approved forms of contraception.
Employers wishing to take advantage of the additional year must certify that they qualify for delayed implementation and provide notices to their employees stating that contraceptive services are available at sites such as community health centers.
