Requires the department of social services to submit a state plan amendment or seek any necessary waivers requesting approval for MO HealthNet coverage of fertility treatments

This bill directs the Missouri Department of Social Services to submit a state plan amendment or seek federal waivers to allow MO HealthNet, the state's Medicaid program, to cover fertility treatments for eligible participants. The legislation specifically targets individuals enrolled in MO HealthNet who may need assisted reproductive services, requiring the department to formally request approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to expand coverage. By mandating this administrative process, the bill ensures that any new fertility treatment benefits comply with federal Medicaid regulations while enabling the state to pursue coverage options for reproductive health services. The measure does not establish new coverage on its own but creates a pathway for the department to seek the necessary federal authorization to include these treatments in the program.
