US EditionCalifornia’s Much-Touted IVF Law May Be Delayed Until 2026
- California legislators are preparing to postpone the effective date of Senate Bill 729, which requires insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization, from July 1, 2025, to January 2026.
- Gov. Gavin Newsom requested a postponement to allow for alignment between the bill and a wider regulatory initiative aimed at classifying IVF and fertility treatments as essential health benefits.
- Senate Bill 729 mandates that health insurance plans regulated by the state and provided through large employers include coverage for infertility evaluation and therapy, encompassing up to three egg retrieval procedures and unlimited embryo transfers, which will benefit approximately nine million Californians.
- Ana Rios, who has been trying to conceive with her wife for six years and has spent her savings on multiple treatments, shared her disappointment over the delay, saying that just when it seemed like support was within reach, the uncertainty and lack of clear information from her employer and insurer made the situation even more frustrating.
- If the delay is approved and signed, the law would be immediately paused, leaving patients, employers, and insurers in limbo, while most employers renewing contracts in January may not be affected.
