Act ( Public Law 111–148 ) requires all non-grandfathered individual and group health plans to cover without cost-sharing preventive services, including a set of evidence-based preventive services for women supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services. These women’s preventive services include the full range of female-controlled contraceptive methods, effective family planning practices, and sterilization procedures approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The Health Resources and Services Administration has affirmed that contraceptive care includes contraceptive counseling, initiation of contraceptive use, and follow-up care (such as management, evaluation, and changes to and removal or discontinuation of the contraceptive method). (8) Under the TRICARE program, women members of the Armed Forces on active duty have full coverage of all prescription drugs, including contraception, without cost-sharing requirements, which is consistent with requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( Public Law 111–148 ), which requires coverage of all contraceptive methods approved by the Food and Drug Administration for women and related services and education and counseling. However, women members not on active duty and female dependents of members do not have similar coverage of all prescription methods of contraception approved by the Food and Drug Administration without cost-sharing when filling a prescription outside of a military medical treatment facility. (9) Studies indicate that women members of the Armed Forces need comprehensive counseling for pregnancy prevention and the lack thereof is contributing to unintended pregnancies among such women members. Additionally, they need counseling on and availability of contraception for non-contraceptive benefits (for example, menstrual suppression and predictable menstrual patterns), which is important in ensuring readiness for deployment to remote or operational theaters.
