A group of employers who challenged some federal health insurance requirements cannot be forced to provide no-cost coverage for certain types of preventive care , including HIV prep and some kinds of cancer screenings, a federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled Friday, June 21,2024.

That is the good news,” Carl Schmid, executive director of the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute, said in an email, referring to a common HIV preventative treatment.
Not all preventive care is threatened by the ruling and attorneys on both sides said that some employers could decide to adopt copays or deductibles that would keep the affected coverages, including HIV preventatives, available, if not free.
