Bill > S622

This bill aims to expand insurance coverage for infertility diagnosis, treatment, and fertility preservation services for LGBTQ individuals and couples residing in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to require insurance providers to cover these services without conditions related to waiting periods, number of attempts, prior treatment, age, sexual orientation, or familial status. The bill also directs the Office of Health Equity to study the affordability, accessibility, and practicality of resources and services available to LGBTQ individuals and couples seeking to expand their families, and to make recommendations to improve access and eliminate disparities. Additionally, the bill requires the Board of Registration in Medicine to develop a professional development training module for physicians on resources and services available to LGBTQ couples seeking to start or grow their families.
