Senate Bill 566 mandates that health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans that cover medical or hospital expenses must also cover 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 coverage for medications related to infertility that are not applied to other prescription medications. It also ensures that no different restrictions are placed on infertility services compared to other covered services.

The bill introduces new definitions and requirements, including the definition of infertility and standard fertility preservation services, and establishes that self-insured health plans are included under these mandates. The commissioner is tasked with creating necessary rules for implementation, and the bill outlines its applicability to existing policies and plans, particularly in relation to collective bargaining agreements. The act is set to take effect four months after publication.
