Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates that specific governmental health benefit plans (under Chapters 1551, 1575, 1579, and 1601) must cover IVF procedures when pregnancy-related benefits are provided, subject to conditions like infertility history and use of spouse's sperm. This expands insurance coverage and access for IVF without any restrictions, personhood definitions, or limits on abortion or related services. The amendment to applicability and conditions sections supports this expansion for the covered plans effective 2026.
