Employee Benefits Partner Interviews with The Washington Post on Health Plan Coverage for Reproductive Care

In an interview with The Washington Post, Lorie Maring offers insight into how companies can navigate the fast-changing legal landscape in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade. While many companies are going public with their plans to cover medical travel for reproductive care, these decisions involve careful review of corporate health plans.

Lorie explains that abortion coverage is not consistent across employer group healthcare plans. She says: “many self-funded plans already cover travel associated with medical procedures. Self-funded plans also usually offer abortion coverage for pregnancy ‘resulting from criminal activity,’ but full coverage for elective abortion has been more of an exception.”
