The DFS, which did not identify the insurers, could not be
immediately reached for comment.
All health plans in New York are required to provide coverage for
all contraceptive drugs and devices and all non-grandfathered health
plans must cover at least one form of contraception in each of the
FDA-approved contraceptive delivery methods without co-pays,
coinsurance or deductibles, regardless of the future of the
Affordable Care Act.
