Text of Agency FAQs on ACA Implementation, Set 20: Notice Requirements for Cessation of Coverage of Contraceptive Services (PDF)
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS]; U.S. Department of Labor [DOL] and U.S. Department of the Treasury 
[Official Guidance] July 17, 2014
"Q. My closely held for-profit corporation's health plan will cease providing coverage for some or all contraceptive services mid-plan year. Does this reduction in coverage trigger any notice requirements to plan participants and beneficiaries? Answer: Yes. For plans subject to [ERISA] ERISA requires disclosure of information relevant to coverage of preventive services, including contraceptive coverage. Specifically, the [DOL's] longstanding regulations at 29 CFR 2520.102-3(j)(3) provide that, the summary plan description (SPD) shall include a description of the extent to which preventive services (which includes contraceptive services) are covered under the plan."
