Bill Text: AZ House Bill 2625 - Fiftieth Legislature - Second Regular Session (2012) | eLobbyist
The ONLY ones who need to file any affidavit are the employer if they have an objection to providing insurance that covers contraceptive services.
The offending passage regarding the covered employee and needing to discuss their contraceptive use WAS REMOVED FROM THE BILL BEFORE IT WAS VOTED ON.
It's a moot argument.
Scroll down in your link to a big blue paragraph "Z", it requires that employees pay for contrastive services themselves and then submit a claim to the employer if the service was not for the prevention of pregnancy. And as part of that claim they have to provide evidence that it was not for contraceptive purposes.

the claim is submitted to the insurer, not the employer. Also, the 'not in whole or in part' line is sufficiently ambiguous as to prevent any negative action on the employee, should the employer somehow obtain the 'evidence' mentioned... which they should not, as it is not sent to them, but to the insurance company.An insurer, employer, sponsor, issuer or other entity offering the policy may state religious beliefs in its affidavit that require the insured to first pay for the prescription and then submit a claim to the insurer along with evidence that the prescription is (removed from bill)for a noncontraceptive purpose(removed from bill) not in whole or in part for a purpose covered by the objection.
Then I'm not knowing where you are getting that paragraph. From the link you provided:
"A corporation, employer, sponsor, issuer or other entity offering the plan may state religious beliefs or moral convictions in its affidavit that require the subscriber to first pay for the prescription and then submit a claim to the corporation along with evidence that the prescription is not in whole or in part for a purpose covered by the objection."
This is from your link (that I just refreshed) the big blue paragraph "Z".
Can you direct me to your quote so I can see what the mix up is?
