Relating to conditions applicable to health benefit plan coverage of in vitro fertilization procedures.
SB 833 requires Texas group health benefit plans to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures under specific conditions. It applies only to individuals with a documented history of infertility (at least three continuous years or specific conditions like endometriosis, fallopian tube issues, or low sperm count) who have first tried less costly infertility treatments covered by their plan. The bill mandates coverage only for IVF performed at facilities meeting American Society for Reproductive Medicine standards. This law takes effect for new or renewed health plans on or after January 1, 2026, and does not apply to plans active before that date.
