Bill > SB175

This bill requires medical insurance providers in West Virginia to include coverage for the diagnosis of infertility, medically necessary fertility treatments, and fertility preservation services in their policies. The bill defines key terms such as "infertility," "medically necessary," and "standard fertility preservation services." It prohibits insurers from imposing certain limitations on this coverage and requires the Insurance Commissioner to propose rules for implementing the bill's provisions. The bill aims to make infertility treatment more affordable and accessible for West Virginians, with the goal of attracting and retaining young families, expanding the state's health care resources, reducing overall health care costs, and improving health outcomes for children.
