Amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), entitled "An act relating to insurance; amending, revising, and consolidating the law providing for the incorporation of insurance companies, and the regulation, supervision, and protection of home and foreign insurance companies, Lloyds associations, reciprocal and inter-insurance exchanges, and fire insurance rating bureaus, and the regulation and supervision of insurance carried by such companies, associations, and exchanges, including insurance carried by the State Workmen's Insurance Fund; providing penalties; and repealing existing laws," in casualty insurance, providing for coverage for infertility treatment.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require health insurance policies that provide pregnancy-related benefits to also cover the expenses of diagnosing and treating infertility, including in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, artificial insemination, and other assisted reproductive techniques. The bill allows insurers to impose certain restrictions, such as excluding coverage for reversals of elective sterilization, setting waiting periods before assisted reproductive techniques can be used, and limiting the number of assisted reproductive technology procedures covered. The bill also defines key terms like "health insurance policy" and "infertility." The provisions of this bill would take effect 60 days after enactment.
