The proposed bill aims to enhance access to infertility diagnosis, treatment, and standard fertility preservation services in Washington State. It mandates that group health plans, health plans for state employees, and Medicaid coverage include these services starting from January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2027, for specific treatments. The bill specifies that coverage must include two completed oocyte retrievals with unlimited embryo transfers, aligning with guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Additionally, it prohibits any exclusions or limitations on fertility medications that differ from other prescription medications and ensures that benefits are provided to enrollees and their dependents on par with other pregnancy-related benefits.

The legislation also defines key terms related to infertility and fertility preservation, ensuring clarity in the coverage provided. It emphasizes the importance of addressing disparities in access to care, particularly for racial and ethnic minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The bill is officially titled the "Washington State Building Families Act" and empowers the insurance commissioner to adopt necessary rules for its implementation. Overall, the bill seeks to improve health outcomes for families facing infertility challenges while promoting equitable access to necessary medical services.
