This bill requires coverage for in vitro fertilization under the Nebraska State Insurance Program and makes related amendments to existing sections.

  • Section 84-1609

    Beginning July 1, 2025, the Nebraska State Insurance Program shall include coverage for in vitro fertilization.

    This adds a requirement for in vitro fertilization coverage to the Nebraska State Insurance Program.

  • Section 84-1609

    In providing the coverage required under subsection (1) of this section, the program may: (a) Limit coverage to a lifetime maximum benefit of four completed egg retrievals; (b) Limit coverage to those individuals who have been unable to conceive or produce conception or sustain a successful pregnancy through less expensive and medically viable infertility treatment or procedures covered under the program, except that nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to deny the coverage required by this section to any individual who foregoes a particular infertility treatment or procedure if the individual's physician determines that such treatment or procedure is likely to be unsuccessful; and (c) Require that covered treatment or procedures be performed at facilities that conform to the standards and guidelines developed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine or the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

    This outlines specific conditions and limitations under which in vitro fertilization coverage may be provided.

  • Section 84-1607

    The special coverages permitted by sections 84-1607 and 84-1608 shall be made available uniformly to all employees, but each employee shall retain the option to choose the special coverage or coverages which he or she desires or to reject all such special coverages.

    This reinforces that special coverages should be uniformly available to all employees.

  • Section 84-1608

    The special coverages permitted by sections 84-1607 and 84-1608 shall be made available uniformly to all employees, but each employee shall retain the option to choose the special coverage or coverages which he or she desires or to reject all such special coverages.

    This also reinforces that special coverages should be uniformly available to all employees.

  • Section 84-1607

    any coverage under this section shall be borne solely by the employee.

    This removes the stipulation that all coverage under this section must be employee-funded.

  • Section 84-1608

    any coverage under this section may be borne solely by the employee.

    This removes the stipulation that coverage under this section may be solely employee-funded.

  • The provisions relating to special coverages are transferred to allow for the inclusion of in vitro fertilization coverage.

    This indicates a structural change in how special coverages are managed in relation to new requirements.
