An Act to improve sickle cell care

This bill expands fertility preservation coverage for MassHealth enrollees and individuals with private health insurance who face infertility risks due to treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. It specifically includes sickle cell disease in the list of conditions that may lead to iatrogenic infertility, ensuring these patients can access services such as egg and sperm storage before undergoing necessary medical procedures. The legislation requires private insurers to cover these medically necessary services without discrimination based on age, disability, or other health factors, while also mandating that the state report on the financial impact of this coverage every three years.
