H473

Right to IVF

Introduced·3/20/25

North Carolina H473 protects the right to access assisted reproductive technology and increases Medicaid maternal support services funding.

North Carolina H473 establishes the right to access assisted reproductive technology, ensuring that fertilized human eggs or embryos outside the uterus are not considered human beings under state law. It also prohibits state interference with patients' and providers' rights related to assisted reproductive technology. Additionally, the bill appropriates $500,000 annually from the General Fund to the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Benefits, to increase funding for Medicaid maternal support services, matching $913,000 in federal funds for the 2025-2027 fiscal.
