Bill > A07339

This bill amends the New York insurance law to expand coverage for fertility preservation services by removing language that previously limited such services to situations where a medical treatment might directly or indirectly cause iatrogenic infertility (medical treatments that impair fertility, such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy). The bill requires insurance providers to cover standard fertility preservation services more broadly and prohibits discrimination based on various factors including anticipated iatrogenic infertility. Specifically, the bill modifies provisions in three different sections of insurance law covering group, individual, and commercial insurance policies, ensuring that insurers cannot deny coverage or discriminate against individuals seeking fertility preservation services based on expected length of life, disability, medical dependency, perceived quality of life, health conditions, or personal characteristics like age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, or gender identity. The changes aim to provide more comprehensive and inclusive fertility preservation coverage across different types of insurance policies, making such services more accessible to individuals who may need them. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
