Bill > S0924

This bill requires the Florida Department of Management Services to provide coverage for fertility preservation services for state group health insurance plan policies issued on or after January 1, 2026, specifically for individuals facing potential iatrogenic infertility due to cancer treatments. The coverage includes medically necessary expenses related to retrieving and preserving sperm and oocyte materials, following nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines, with storage coverage lasting up to 3 years or until the individual is no longer covered by the state group health insurance plan. The bill defines key terms such as "iatrogenic infertility" as fertility impairment caused by medical treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, and "standard fertility retrieval and preservation services" as procedures including oocyte and sperm cryopreservation. State group health insurance plans cannot require preauthorization for these services but may impose standard deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The bill aims to help individuals preserve their fertility potential before undergoing medical treatments that could compromise their reproductive capabilities, and will take effect on July 1, 2025.
