birth control mandate

Required contraceptive coverage

A birth control mandate is a legal requirement that health insurance plans cover contraceptive services without cost-sharing.

The term gained prominence in the United States after the Affordable Care Act required most employer-sponsored insurance to include birth control coverage: The company sought an exemption from the birth control mandate on religious grounds.
