Fertility Preservation Pilot Program.
HB 744 establishes a three-year fertility preservation pilot program (2025-2032) using $2.25 million annually to help cancer patients who face financial barriers to fertility treatments. It directly affects individuals diagnosed with cancer or undergoing cancer treatment who are uninsured, have limited insurance coverage for fertility services, or would pay over $1,000 out-of-pocket, including those with household incomes below 300% of the federal poverty level. The program covers up to $12,000 for egg preservation/storage (women), $1,500 for sperm preservation (men), and $26,000 for IVF/IUI procedures, administered by three designated North Carolina medical centers. Grantees must report annually on services provided and program effectiveness, with funds expiring June 30, 2032.
