Overview
This bill amends New Jersey’s health insurance laws to include coverage for the storage of sperm and oocytes for certain individuals. Specifically, it mandates that hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health service corporations, commercial group insurers, and health maintenance organizations must provide coverage for ‘standard fertility preservation services’ when a medically necessary treatment could cause iatrogenic infertility. The bill also outlines specific criteria for determining when such treatments are considered medically necessary and prohibits basing coverage decisions on factors like a person’s expected lifespan or health conditions.
