Relative to step therapy and in vitro fertilization insurance coverage. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends several chapters of Massachusetts law to require health insurance plans, including those offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and private insurers, to provide coverage for the medically necessary diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Importantly, the bill prohibits these plans from requiring a patient to take a certain medication or undergo a specific procedure before or instead of the treatment recommended by the patient's physician. The definition of "infertility" in the bill is the inability to conceive or produce a live birth within a certain timeframe based on the patient's age.
