A unit of UnitedHealth Group has agreed to pay a $1 million penalty to New York for failing to cover all federally approved birth control as required by state law. The penalty comes after the unit did not comply with the Comprehensive Contraceptive Coverage Act, which mandates that insurers cover all FDA-approved contraceptives without copays, restrictions, or delays. New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that the unit will also refund individuals who were wrongly denied coverage.
