Expanding Fertility Treatment Options Amendment Act of 2025
This bill requires health insurers in the District of Columbia to cover elective egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) as a fertility treatment starting January 1, 2027. It directly affects DC residents who may want to proactively freeze eggs to address age-related fertility decline later in life. Key provisions mandate coverage for at least three egg retrievals, unlimited embryo transfers from those eggs (following medical guidelines), and 10 years of storage, for both large group and individual/small group health plans. The law amends existing coverage requirements to include this proactive fertility care option.
