Provides coverage for iatrogenic fertility preservation services under certain conditions
This bill requires health insurance plans to cover standard fertility preservation services when a medical treatment - such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy - directly causes or risks iatrogenic infertility (fertility impairment affecting reproductive organs or processes). It directly affects patients undergoing medical treatments that may harm fertility, ensuring they can access services like egg or sperm freezing before starting treatment. The law mandates coverage for these specific services under defined conditions, without requiring prior authorization. It takes effect immediately upon enactment and was recently referred to the Health committee for further review.
