NY AG says UnitedHealthcare must pay $1M for not providing birth control coverage
UnitedHealthcare, the country’s largest health insurer, will pay a $1 million penalty for failing to provide birth control coverage, a violation of New York state law, Attorney General Letitia James announced on Thursday.
“Birth control is an important medication that millions of people use every day,” said James. “Denying health insurance coverage of birth control can cause serious health concerns for anyone who takes the medication. Reproductive health care is essential to the safety and well-being of New Yorkers, and it is crucial that health insurers abide by New York’s reproductive health care laws.”
The company also must ensure all of its health plans comply with the CCCA and must train all staff involved in the claims approvals process for contraception on compliance with New York laws, according to James.
