Bill > SB2781

This bill, the "Health Insurance Coverage for Fertility Preservation Services Act," requires health insurance providers in Mississippi to cover standard fertility preservation services for individuals who may undergo medically necessary treatments that could directly or indirectly cause infertility, known as "iatrogenic infertility." The bill defines key terms like "covered individual," "health insurance coverage," and "standard fertility preservation services," and prohibits insurers from imposing certain exclusions, limitations, or other restrictions on this coverage. The purpose of the act is to ensure access to established fertility preservation methods, as outlined by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, for individuals facing potential infertility due to necessary medical treatments. The bill would apply to all insurance policies, contracts, and certificates in Mississippi starting on July 1, 2024.
