AI Summary
This bill requires health plans in Minnesota that provide maternity benefits to also cover infertility diagnosis and treatment procedures that are considered medically necessary by the enrollee's healthcare provider and recognized by major medical organizations. The required coverage includes procedures like ovulation induction, in vitro fertilization, and fertility preservation for cancer patients, with unlimited embryo transfers but a limit of four completed egg retrievals per plan year. The bill also requires Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to cover infertility diagnosis, treatment, and standard fertility preservation services that meet similar criteria. The provisions in this bill would take effect on January 1, 2025, or upon federal approval for the Medicaid changes.
