Infertility

Oregon HB4155 aimed to require certain health insurers to cover fertility treatments while allowing some insurers to opt out of this requirement. It also proposed a program to reimburse costs for treatments not covered by those exempted insurers and established a fund to support family building. The bill ultimately failed to pass.

Supporters of HB4155 would argue that the bill was a crucial step toward making fertility treatments more accessible for those in need. By requiring coverage and establishing a fund, it aimed to alleviate financial burdens on families seeking to build their families through assisted reproductive technologies.

Critics of HB4155 might contend that the bill imposed unnecessary regulations on insurers and could lead to increased healthcare costs for everyone. They may argue that the exemptions for certain insurers undermine the bill's intent and create disparities in access to fertility treatments.
