Prescription contraceptives must be covered

Paul Douglas

Susan (identity changed), from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York

City, belongs to the group of women having the same problem. Her

employer, did not provide insurance for prescription

contraceptives. That is why Susan had to pay for them

out-of-pocket. Susan asked the hospital to pay for

contraceptives, because it covered other prescription drugs and

preventative care. When the hospital refused, she got in touch

with the National Women's Law Center, Washington, D.C. NWLC

attorneys immediately informed the hospital administration that

these actions were illegal under Federal and state laws against

sex discrimination in employment. As a result Lenox Hill

authorities gave up.

Apart from the Federal and state laws against sex discrimination

in the workplace, 20 other states have introduced legislation

forcing insurance companies to pay for prescription

contraceptives if they do so with other prescription drugs. NWLC

has issued the guide, "Contraceptive Equity Laws in Your State:

Know Your Rights-Use Your Rights" to make it easier for women to

use these insurance laws to get coverage for

contraceptives.

The guide provides a summary of the crucial clauses concerning

the contraceptive equity laws, procedures for filing a complaint

if your insurance company does not cover Birth control, contact

information for state insurance departments, and complaint

forms. "Access to contraception is a central part of women's

health care. It's absolutely essential for women to know that

there are new laws to help them get insurance coverage for

prescription contraceptives-and that we are here to help them

understand and exercise their rights," claims Judith C.

Applebaum, NWLC vice president and legal director.
