DOL Withdraws Proposal on Enhancing Coverage of Preventive Services Under ACA

The Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Treasury have  withdrawn a notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2024. The proposal would have expanded access to coverage of recommended contraceptive services without cost sharing, including over-the-counter (OTC) contraceptives. The departments have determined it is appropriate to withdraw the proposed rules at this time, focusing instead on other matters.

The proposed rule is withdrawn on January 15, 2025.
