A federal appeals court has ruled that some employers can exclude HIV prep from insurance coverage. The Fifth Circuit struck down a national injunction against Affordable Care Act requirements forcing insurers to cover a range of preventive treatments, including cancer screenings and HIV drugs. However, the court's ruling is narrow, applying only to the eight employers in Texas who objected to providing the no-cost coverage. The decision prevents the US mandate's application to these specific individuals and businesses, while the broader mandate remains in effect for others.
