A federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that a group of employers can exclude coverage for certain types of preventive care, including HIV prep and some cancer screenings, from their health insurance plans. The court's narrow ruling applies only to the specific employers who challenged the requirements, stating that they cannot be forced to provide no-cost coverage. This decision does not affect insurers' obligation to cover preventive services nationwide, except for the original plaintiffs who objected to the coverage requirement. The court found the coverage requirement for HIV prevention to be unconstitutional and has sent the case back to a lower court for further resolution.
