Women's Obstetrician and Gynecologist Access Now Act

H.R. 2937, the Women's Obstetrician and Gynecologist Access Now Act, would require health insurance plans to allow women to visit an obstetrician or gynecologist (OB-GYN) without first obtaining a referral from a primary care physician. Under this bill, insurance companies would be prohibited from requiring a "gatekeeper" for these specific services, provided the doctor is within the plan's network. While the bill ensures direct access, it still allows insurance providers to require that OB-GYNs communicate with a patient's primary care doctor regarding treatment and follow standard clinical protocols.
