Report: Vt. insurers not providing no-cost contraception
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A contraceptive contravention from three Vermont insurance providers. That’s according to a new report from the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation.
The report found that Blue Cross Blue Shield Vermont, MVP Health Care, and Cigna Healthcare haven’t been providing cost-free contraceptives. That violates state and federal law thanks to the Affordable Care Act. The investigation found that between 2017 and 2021 patients were inappropriately charged $1.5M in contraceptive costs.
Vermont congressional delegation called on multiple agencies to better enforce the Affordable Care Act.
