S 622 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to LGBTQ family building

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts that cover pregnancy-related benefits to also cover medically necessary infertility diagnosis, treatment, and preservation services. The law applies to individuals and groups residing or working in the state, ensuring that coverage for these services is provided without discrimination based on age, sexual orientation, or familial status. Insurers must follow medical standards set by professional societies and cannot impose restrictions such as waiting periods or limits on the number of treatment attempts. Additionally, the bill mandates coverage for fertility preservation when a person has a diagnosed medical or genetic condition that could impair their reproductive ability.
