Relating to conditions applicable to health benefit plan coverage of in vitro fertilization procedures.

HB 1207 requires group health benefit plans to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures under specific conditions. It mandates coverage only if the patient has a documented infertility history of at least three years (or specific conditions like endometriosis), the procedure uses the patient’s spouse’s sperm, the patient has tried less costly infertility treatments first, and the facility meets American Society for Reproductive Medicine standards. This bill directly affects group health insurance plans and individuals seeking IVF coverage in Texas. The requirements apply only to plans delivered or renewed on or after January 1, 2026.
