Health Insurance Coverage for Fertility Preservation Services Act; enact.

SB 2031, the "Health Insurance Coverage for Fertility Preservation Services Act," would require Mississippi health insurers to cover standard fertility preservation services (like egg or sperm freezing) for patients undergoing medically necessary treatments - such as cancer therapy - that may cause infertility, as defined by medical guidelines. It directly affects patients facing treatments with infertility risks, prohibiting insurers from denying coverage based on prior health conditions, age, gender, sexual orientation, or other personal characteristics. The bill mandates coverage without exclusions or limitations, aligning with guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and would apply to all health insurance plans in Mississippi starting July 1, 2025. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
