AI Summary
This bill alters the circumstances under which certain health insurance entities in Maryland are required to provide coverage for expenses related to in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. It prohibits these entities from discriminating based on the marital status of the policyholder or subscriber when providing IVF coverage. The bill also modifies the eligibility criteria for IVF coverage, including reducing the required duration of infertility for both opposite-sex and same-sex couples. Additionally, the bill allows coverage for IVF procedures in certain cases for unmarried individuals, and limits the number of IVF attempts and the lifetime maximum benefit that can be required by the insurance entities.
