The Pregnancy Discrimination Act: employer health insurance plans must cover prescription contraceptives
Empl Benefits J.
2001 Sep.
Abstract
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which recently took the position that employer health plans are required, in many instances, to cover prescription contraceptives, has issued guidelines to assist employers in complying with the law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex and pregnancy. Employers should review these guidelines carefully in relation to their health care plans.
