Abstract:
The Information Collection requires plans established or maintained by certain religious employers (and group health insurance coverage provided in connection with such plans) claiming exemption to providing contraceptive service to self-certify that it meets the definition of an eligible organization. The eligible organization would provide its health insurance issuer or third party administrator with a copy of its self-certification. The final regulations direct a third party administrator arranging or providing payments for contraceptive services at no cost to participants and beneficiaries in insured or self-insured plans (or student enrollees and covered dependents in student health insurance coverage) of eligible organizations to provide a written notice to such plan participants and beneficiaries (or such student enrollees and covered dependents) informing them of the availability of such payments. The notice must be provided contemporaneous with (to the extent possible) but separate from plan enrollment (or re-enrollment) materials, and must specify that contraceptive coverage will not be provided by the eligible organization but that the third party administrator will separately arrange or provide payments for contraceptive services, and must provide contact information for the third party administrator for questions and complaints. To satisfy the notice requirement, third party administrators may use the model language set forth in the final regulations or substantially similar language.
