For health plans, including health plans offered to public employees and their covered dependents, issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2024, a health carrier may not impose cost sharing for abortion of a pregnancy.
For health plans offered as a qualifying health plan for a health savings account, the health plan must establish the plan’s cost sharing for the coverage of abortion services at the minimum level necessary to preserve the enrollee’s ability to claim tax exempt contributions and withdrawals
from the enrollee’s health savings account.
