The Legislature today passed the FY25 State Budget. Included in the budget is the Fertility Preservation language that was originally the free standing bill, S.598, which MSCO has strongly supported. Both the House and Senate in their separate budget bills had included the language. Now the language is before the governor for her approval, which is expected.

A copy of the language is attached here. This language covers commercial insurers. Similar language is in the bill covering all other state regulated health insurance such as BCBS, HMOs, etc.
