Plain-language summary
This bill would require health insurance plans in Kentucky to cover fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination, starting January 1, 2027. It sets minimum standards for that coverage and also applies the requirement to health plans offered to state employees and employees of public universities. There is a built-in pause on the requirement if it would trigger additional costs to the state through federal health insurance programs. Who it may affect: Kentuckians with employer-sponsored or private health insurance who seek fertility treatments, state government employees, and employees of public colleges and universities.
