Assembly Bill 568 mandates that health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans that cover medical or hospital expenses must provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, as well as standard fertility preservation services. The bill specifies that coverage must include at least four completed egg retrievals with unlimited embryo transfers, and allows for single embryo transfers when deemed medically appropriate. Additionally, the bill prohibits any exclusions, limitations, or restrictions on medications related to infertility that are not applied to other prescription medications, and ensures that coverage for infertility services is treated equally to other medical services within the policy.

The bill also establishes definitions for infertility and standard fertility preservation services, and outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner to create necessary rules for implementation. It clarifies that the coverage requirements apply to all covered individuals under the policy, including spouses and dependents, and sets forth the initial applicability of the act in relation to existing policies and collective bargaining agreements. The act is set to take effect four months after publication.
