The reimbursement, which is effective retroactively from Jan 1., is available to the company's U.S. corporate and warehouse employees or covered dependents enrolled in Premera or Aetna health plans.
An internal message first reported by Reuters and confirmed by FOX Business notes that the new reimbursement is available to the company's U.S. corporate and warehouse employees or covered dependents enrolled in Premera or Aetna health plans.
The policy, which is effective retroactively from Jan. 1, applies if an operation is not available within 100 miles of an employee's home and virtual care is not possible. In addition to abortions, Amazon's new policy also covers treatments related to cardiology, cellular gene therapies and substance abuse disorder services.

Wade ruling that legalized the procedure nationwide. About two dozen states, including Oklahoma and Alabama, have laws poised to limit abortion access should the Roe ruling be overturned.

Amazon, Union Face Off in a Rematch Election in New YorkAmazon and the nascent group that successfully organized the company’s first-ever U.S. union drive are headed for a rematch Monday. A federal labor board will tally votes cast by warehouse workers Monday in yet another election on Staten Island. A second labor win could give workers in other Amazon facilities — and at other companies — the motivation they need to launch similar efforts. It could also cement the power and influence of the Amazon Labor Union, the grassroots group of former and current workers that secured last month’s historic victory. But a union loss could mute some of the labor celebrations and raise questions about whether the first victory was just a fluke.
