Bill > H0677

This bill requires the Florida Department of Management Services to provide coverage for standard fertility preservation services under state group health insurance plans for individuals facing potential iatrogenic infertility due to medical treatments like cancer therapy, starting January 1, 2026. The coverage includes the costs of retrieving and preserving sperm and egg materials, following nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines, and will expire after 3 years or when the individual is no longer covered by the state health insurance plan. The bill defines key terms such as "iatrogenic infertility" (fertility impairment caused by medical treatments) and "standard fertility retrieval and preservation services" (procedures like egg, sperm, and ovarian tissue retrieval and cryopreservation). State group health insurance plans cannot require preauthorization for these services but may impose standard deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, as well as set maximum benefit limits. The legislation aims to help individuals preserve their fertility potential before undergoing medical treatments that could compromise their reproductive capabilities, with the coverage taking effect on July 1, 2025.
