Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring health insurance plans to provide coverage for fertility diagnostic care, fertility treatment and fertility preservation services will increase General Fund costs to the State Employee Health Plan beginning in the plan year that starts July 1, 2024 by an estimated $183,559 in fiscal year 2024-25. The bill will also increase Highway Fund costs by an estimated $64,620 beginning in fiscal year 2024-25. These estimates are based on the assumption that this required coverage will increase costs to the plan by $1.41 per member per month. Additional costs to the Bureau of Insurance in the Department of Professional and Financial Regulations are assumed to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
