Summary: For 2022, there are 93 Individual and Family plans being offered by 7 health insurance carriers on the Nevada exchange, up from 53 plans offered by 5 carriers in 2021. Nevada continues to use a state-based enrollment platform for 2022 after switching from www.healthcare.gov in 2020. Two new carriers, Aetna CVS Health and Ambetter from Silver Summit entered the market for this enrollment period.
For 2022, a majority of plans exclude elective abortion, while 9 plans are currently unclear on abortion coverage in their respective plan documents. Friday Health Plans of Nevada’s Summary of Benefits and Coverage documents are not in compliance with federal regulations requiring this document to state whether elective abortion is covered or excluded. While the plans’ Evidence of Coverage documents list “elective abortion” under the Limitations and Exclusions, the drug formularies include Mifeprex as a Tier 3 drug along with a description of its usage as an abortion-inducing drug for a chemical abortion. We will update this page as we receive more information.
For every year since the first open enrollment in November 2014 through 2020, none of the Individual and Family plans offered on the Nevada exchange covered elective abortion.
While none of the plans in Nevada cover elective abortion, please bear in mind that taxpayers in your state are still paying federal taxes that are used to pay for coverage that includes elective abortion in other states. For example, an estimated 1.25 million Californians received federal taxpayer subsidies in 2014 and 96% of plans sold in California included abortion on demand. Between 2015 and 2024 an estimated $855 billion in federal subsidies will be used in every state to pay for Obamacare health plans, many of which include elective abortion.
