AI Summary

This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require health insurance policies that provide pregnancy-related benefits and are delivered, issued, executed, or renewed in Pennsylvania to cover the expenses of diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including procedures like in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. The bill outlines certain restrictions and limitations that insurers may impose on this coverage, such as excluding reversal of elective sterilization, setting waiting periods, and limiting the number of assisted reproductive technology procedures covered.
