“Some hospitals and other providers do not provide one or more of the following services that may be covered under your policy and that you or your family member might need: family planning; contraceptive services, including emergency contraception; sterilization, including tubal ligation at the time of labor and delivery; infertility treatments; or abortion. You should obtain more information before you become a policyholder or select a network provider. Call your prospective doctor or clinic, or call the insurer at (insert the insurer’s membership services number or other appropriate number that individuals can call for assistance) to ensure that you can obtain the health care services that you need.”

(2) Place the statement described in paragraph (1) in a prominent location on any provider directory posted on the insurer’s website, if any, and include this statement in a conspicuous place in the insurer’s evidence of coverage and disclosure forms.

(c) A disability insurer shall not be required to provide the statement described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) in a service area in which none of the hospitals, health facilities, clinics, medical groups, or independent practice associations with which it contracts limit or restrict any of the reproductive services described in the statement.
