AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEFINITION OF "INFERTILITY".
HB 6135 revises Connecticut's legal definition of "infertility" to specify three clear criteria: failure to conceive after regular unprotected sex (following medical guidelines), inability to reproduce without medical intervention, and a physician's assessment based on medical history and testing. This updated definition directly affects health insurance coverage for infertility treatments, as it will determine eligibility under existing individual and group health insurance policies. The bill does not mandate new coverage but clarifies the standard insurers must use to evaluate infertility treatment benefits. This change aims to provide consistent, medically recognized criteria for insurance decisions without altering coverage requirements.
