S 1813 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to medical assistance for patients for infertility treatment

This bill amends New York's social services law to require medical assistance (like Medicaid) to cover specific fertility treatments for patients using oral or injectable ovulation drugs. It mandates coverage for necessary monitoring services - including office visits, diagnostic tests (like ultrasounds), and blood work - during infertility treatment. If federal funding isn't available for these services, the state would use its own funds to support a grant program ensuring access. The policy directly affects patients seeking fertility care who rely on state medical assistance programs.
