S 1770 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires health insurance coverage of preimplantation genetic testing with in vitro fertilization under certain conditions.

This bill requires health insurance plans covering groups of 50+ people to cover preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) when performed alongside in vitro fertilization (IVF) to prevent serious genetic conditions from being passed to offspring. It applies only when specific medical criteria are met, such as both partners being carriers of certain genetic disorders or a history of a child with a genetic condition. Insurance plans must cover these services at the same level as other pregnancy-related care, but religious employers can opt out if coverage conflicts with their beliefs. The law directly affects insurance providers and individuals seeking IVF with PGT for defined genetic prevention purposes.
