80% of Employers Won't Impose Cost-Sharing
if ACA Mandate is Overturned
October 27, 2022– According to EBRI survey findings released this week, 80% of employers won’t impose cost sharing on preventive services if the ACA preventive services mandate is overturned. The Section 2713 mandate, which incorporates V-BID principles to expand first-dollar coverage of preventive care services for an estimated 167 million Americans, is being challenged by U.S. Supreme Court case Braidwood v. Becerra.
This news follows a recent analysis showing that the costs of covering select preventive services are very low and would have minimal impact on overall employer health care spending.
The V-BID Center Director, Dr. Mark Fendrick, is available for questions and comments at vbidcenter@umich.edu.
