A RECENT US SUPREME COURT RULING DOES NOT AFFECT THE NYS COURT OF APPEALS RULING THAT REGULATIONS REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE POLICIES TO COVER “MEDICALLY NECESSARY ABORTIONS” BUT WHICH EXEMPT POLICIES PROVIDED BY “RELIGIOUS EMPLOYERS” DO NOT IMPAIR THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, on remand from the US Supreme Court, determined the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Fulton v Philadelphia [141 S Ct 1868] did not overturn the NYS Court of Appeals ruling in Catholic Charities of Diocese of Albany [7 NY3d 510]. In Catholic Charities the Court of Appeals held the requirement that health insurance policies cover “medically necessary abortions” but which exempts policies provided by “religious employers” did not impair the free exercise of religion:

… Catholic Charities “is not directly inconsistent with the rationale employed by the United States Supreme Court in any subsequent case, and is thus binding on us as an intermediate appellate court” … .Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany v Vullo, 2022 NY Slip Op 03550, Third Dept 6-2-22

Practice Point: The NYS Court of Appeals ruling In Catholic Charitie [7 NY3d 510] approving the requirement that health insurance policies cover “medically necessary abortions” (with an exemption for “religious employers”) was not affected by the recent ruling by the US Supreme Court in Fulton v Philadelphia [141 S Ct 1868].
