All health plans providing maternity benefits to Minnesota residents must cover infertility diagnosis and treatment procedures deemed medically necessary by the enrollee's treating health care provider and recognized by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine or American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.

Required coverage includes ovulation induction, ovulation monitoring procedures and devices, artificial insemination, oocyte retrieval, in vitro fertilization, gamete intrafallopian transfer, oocyte replacement, cryopreservation techniques, and micromanipulation of gametes.

Coverage for surgical reversal of elective sterilization and expenses for purchasing donor gametes are excluded from the requirement.

Cost-sharing requirements including co-payments, deductibles, and coinsurance for infertility coverage must not exceed the cost-sharing requirements for maternity coverage.

The bill excludes health plans offered under Minnesota chapters 256B and 256L, and becomes effective August 1, 2019, for all health plans issued or renewed on or after that date.
