Human services: medical services; Medicaid coverage for fertility preservation; provide for.
This bill amends Michigan's Medicaid program to begin covering specific fertility treatments for eligible recipients starting January 1, 2026. The new coverage includes fertility diagnostic care, intrauterine insemination, and up to three cycles of ovulation-enhancing drugs intended to achieve a live birth, without discrimination based on age, gender, or other personal characteristics. Additionally, the legislation requires the state health department to submit a report within 180 days analyzing the feasibility and costs of expanding coverage to include in-vitro fertilization and standard fertility preservation services. The bill defines key medical terms such as infertility and standard fertility preservation to clarify the scope of the new benefits.
