AI Summary
This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require individual and group health insurance policies, as well as government programs, to provide coverage for fertility preservation services for individuals under the age of 45 at risk of iatrogenic (medically-induced) infertility. The bill specifies the types of fertility preservation services that must be covered, including cryopreservation of eggs, sperm, and embryos, as well as related procedures. The bill also prohibits policies from imposing pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations on the number of fertility preservation attempts or the cost of the care. The bill provides a five-year coverage requirement for storage of preserved reproductive materials, with additional coverage for minors until they reach 18 years of age.
