Patients get fertility preservation coverage

Hawaii health plans issued or renewed after December 31, 2026, must cover standard fertility preservation services for people facing medically necessary treatment likely to cause infertility. Coverage must follow the full scope of the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines. Plans cannot exclude people because of past fertility diagnoses or treatment, or discriminate based on life expectancy, disability, medical dependence, quality of life, or other health conditions. The mandate does not require coverage for experimental procedures, third-party reproduction, or cryopreservation storage; plans can limit coverage only in line with the guidelines and the person’s medical history.
