AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance policies in Massachusetts to provide coverage for standard fertility preservation services when the enrollee has a diagnosed medical or genetic condition that may directly or indirectly cause impairment of fertility. The coverage includes the procurement, cryopreservation, and storage of gametes, embryos, or other reproductive tissue, to the same extent that benefits are provided for other pregnancy-related procedures. The key terms "standard fertility preservation services" and "may directly or indirectly cause" are defined based on recommendations from reputable medical organizations such as the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
