CA Senate redefines same-sex couples as 'infertile' for reproductive purposes.

The California Senate has passed a bill that would redefine "infertility" to include same-sex couples who cannot reproduce together, requiring insurance companies to cover costs for treatments such as in vitro fertilization or surrogacy. The bill aims to force insurance companies to pay for pregnancy treatments for homosexual couples in California. The legislation would come into effect on January 1, 2024, and would require large group, small group, and individual health care service care plan contracts and disability insurance policies to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and fertility services.
