S 3155 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization

This bill (S 3155) requires health insurers to provide in vitro fertilization (IVF) coverage without discrimination. It prohibits insurers from denying or limiting IVF coverage based on factors like age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or perceived quality of life. The bill specifically bans insurers from requiring all embryos from a previous IVF cycle to be transferred before covering a subsequent cycle for women aged 35 or older. These changes directly affect individuals seeking IVF treatment by expanding access and preventing discriminatory practices in insurance coverage.
