New York A08349 amends insurance law to prohibit discrimination in coverage for in vitro fertilization.
New York A08349 amends the insurance law to prohibit insurers from discriminating against insureds based on expected length of life, disability, medical dependency, quality of life, or other health conditions, and personal characteristics such as age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, or gender identity. The bill also prevents insurers from requiring the transfer of all embryos from a prior cycle as a prerequisite for coverage of a subsequent cycle for females aged thirty-five or older. This change aims to ensure equitable access to in vitro fertilization treatments.
