From contraception to colonoscopies, the Obama administration Monday closed a series of insurance loopholes on coverage of preventive care.
The department of Health and Human Services said insurers must cover at least one birth control option under each of 18 methods approved by the FDA — without copays.
Also, insurers can't charge patients for anesthesia services in connection with colonoscopies.
Other services covered without copays or cost-sharing include:
- Preventive screening, genetic counseling and BRCA genetic testing for women at increased risk for having a potentially harmful mutation in genes that suppress cancerous tumors.
- Prenatal care and other services to promote healthy pregnancies.
- Certain preventive services for transgender people. For example, a mammogram for a transgender man who has residual breast tissue or an intact cervix.

And so rather than some woman paying an extra $10 a month for her birth control EVERYONE will pay an extra $200 a month to pay for Sandra Fluck’s birth control.
