Small business owners who offer group health insurance plans would see this new fertility coverage mandate applied to their plans. This could increase premium costs, as insurers pass along the expense of covering IVF and other fertility treatments. For businesses with tight margins, higher insurance costs could be a meaningful financial burden, though the bill allows standard utilization management tools to control costs.
“A group health plan or a health insurance issuer offering group health insurance coverage shall ensure that such plan or coverage provides coverage for infertility or iatrogenic infertility treatments”
