Bill > SB00197

This bill requires insurance providers to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF), oocyte (egg) cryopreservation, and sperm cryopreservation specifically for state and municipal firefighters who have been diagnosed with cancer. The proposed legislation recognizes that cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, can potentially impact fertility, and aims to provide these firefighters with options to preserve their reproductive capabilities. By mandating insurance coverage for these fertility preservation and treatment services, the bill seeks to support firefighters who may face challenges with fertility as a result of their cancer diagnosis, ensuring they have access to medical technologies that can help them potentially have children in the future without incurring significant out-of-pocket expenses.
