Roe Overturned: What Employers & Plan Sponsors Need to Know

In the most consequential reproductive rights case in generations, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has overturned Roe v. Wade. This decision impacts employers and plan sponsors, which now have a number of actions to consider.

On July 20, our national compliance and clinical experts discussed the top employer and plan sponsor concerns including:

The decision, impact on multi-state entities and potential ERISA preemption
Required changes and strategic decisions impacting health plans, travel benefits, paid leave, fertility coverage and health reimbursement arrangements
Pharmaceutical benefits related to pregnancy, such as contraceptives and medication abortion and coordination with pharmacy benefit managers
Financial security, dependent and education benefits, communication issues and potential disparate impact on workforce diversity
