The bill aims to provide Medicaid coverage for standard fertility preservation services for enrollees, particularly targeting young individuals diagnosed with cancer who may face infertility due to life-saving treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. The legislature recognizes the urgent need for these services, as patients often have limited time to make decisions about preserving their reproductive capabilities before undergoing treatment. The bill emphasizes that fertility preservation is a medically necessary procedure and part of the standard care for eligible patients.

Beginning January 1, 2027, the bill mandates that the Medicaid authority cover all expenses related to standard fertility preservation services. It prohibits Medicaid managed care organizations from imposing any exclusions, limitations, or restrictions on fertility medications that differ from those applied to other prescription drugs. Additionally, it ensures that there are no benefit maximums, waiting periods, or other limitations on coverage for fertility preservation services that are not present for other medical services. The act is officially titled the "medically necessary fertility preservation act."
