Current Bill Summary

SB 92 - This act requires health benefit plans issued, amended, delivered, or renewed in the state following August 28, 2019, to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, as defined in the act.

Coverage for certain procedures is required only where less costly treatments have been unsuccessful, the patient has not undergone a certain number of prior procedures as specified in the act, and the procedures are performed at medical facilities that conform to the in vitro fertilization standards of the American College of Obstetric and Gynecology or the American Fertility Society.

This act contains an exemption for religious organizations, and entities sponsored by religious organizations, that find the procedures to violate their religious and moral teachings and beliefs.
