Braidwood Management v. Becerra: Frequently Asked Questions for Health Care Advocates and Providers

The Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation (CHLPI) released FAQs intended to help health care advocates, providers, and individuals understand key issues at stake in Braidwood Management v. Becerra, a case in which a single federal district court judge in Texas has ruled that the federal government cannot enforce a critical portion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This part of the ACA is intended to guarantee the accessibility and affordability of certain preventive services.

Since this is active litigation and legal analysis is ongoing, these FAQs will be updated periodically to reflect new developments (last updated April 14, 2023).

Advocates, providers, and consumers with questions about the above FAQs, or who believe that a consumer has been wrongly denied coverage of a preventive service and the consumer’s health plan has denied the appeal, are welcome to contact CHLPI at chlpi@law.harvard.edu.
