New Rules For Contraception Coverage Under the ACA: Religious Nonprofits Won't Pay

Six Questions and Answers About The Obama Administration's Birth Control Rule.  Kaiser Health News.  February 1, 2013.

Under the new rules, self-insured religious organizations--not including houses of worship which are exempt from providing contraceptive coverage--who object to providing contraceptive coverage on moral grounds would work with a health insurer  who would provide separate individual coverage.  Costs to the insurer would be offset by adjustments in federally-facilitated exchange user fees that the insurers pay, not by the religious organization.  More information about the rules can be found here.  More information from HHS Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services can be found here.
