Bill Summary
Relative to insurance coverage for pregnancy-related procedures and standard fertility preservation services. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance plans 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. This coverage includes the procurement, cryopreservation, and storage of gametes, embryos, or other reproductive tissue. 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. The bill aims to ensure that individuals with conditions that may impact their fertility have access to procedures to preserve their reproductive capacity.
