Requires health insurance coverage of standard fertility preservation services for individuals with certain menstrual disorders resulting in infertility.
This bill requires health insurance plans in New Jersey to cover fertility preservation services for individuals diagnosed with specific menstrual disorders that may lead to infertility, including endometriosis, menorrhagia, and uterine fibroids. It mandates that insurance companies cover procedures like freezing eggs or embryos on the same terms as other medical treatments, with identical copayments, deductibles, and benefit limits. The law prohibits insurers from denying coverage based on factors such as age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, or gender identity. It applies to most health insurance plans covering groups of 50 or more people and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
