Bill > HF2867

This bill requires all health plans in Minnesota that provide maternity benefits to also cover procedures related to infertility diagnosis and treatment that are considered medically necessary by the enrollee's healthcare provider and recognized by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine or the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The required coverage includes ovulation induction, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and other infertility treatments, but does not include coverage for surgical reversal of elective sterilization or purchase of donor gametes. The cost-sharing requirements for infertility coverage cannot be greater than the cost-sharing requirements for maternity coverage under the enrollee's health plan. The bill defines "infertility" as a disease affecting the reproductive system that interferes with an individual's ability to achieve a pregnancy or decreases a woman's ability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth. This section does not apply to health plans offered under Minnesota's Medicaid (chapter 256B) or MinnesotaCare (chapter 256L) programs.
