AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance policies offered in Delaware to provide coverage for fertility care services, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, for individuals and their partners who suffer from a disease or condition that results in the inability to procreate or carry a pregnancy to viability. The bill specifies the types of fertility care services that must be covered, such as artificial insemination, cryopreservation of eggs and embryos, and various IVF-related procedures. It also defines "infertility" and outlines the criteria for coverage, such as the need for a diagnosis by a fertility specialist and the limitation of IVF procedures to individuals under certain age limits. The bill further prohibits insurers from imposing different exclusions, limitations, or cost-sharing requirements for fertility care services compared to other covered medical services, with some exceptions for religious employers and small businesses.
