Bill > HB06135

This bill proposes to update the definition of "infertility" in Connecticut's statutes, expanding the criteria for when a person or couple can be considered medically infertile for purposes of health insurance coverage. The new definition includes three distinct scenarios: first, the failure to establish or carry a pregnancy to live birth after regular, unprotected sexual intercourse, as defined by guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine; second, an individual's or couple's inability to reproduce without medical intervention; and third, a licensed physician's determination based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's medical, sexual, and reproductive history, age, physical findings, or diagnostic testing. This broader definition aims to provide more inclusive and flexible criteria for identifying infertility, which could potentially expand access to fertility treatments and related health insurance coverage for individuals and couples experiencing challenges with reproduction.
