flag California will require most employer health plans to cover IVF, IUI, and fertility preservation starting Jan. 1, 2026.

flag Starting January 1, 2026, California’s new law will require most employer-sponsored health plans to cover IVF, IUI, and fertility preservation as essential health benefits, expanding access to millions and removing past exclusions based on sexual orientation or marital status. flag The mandate applies to fully insured group plans in the state, not self-funded, out-of-state, or federal plans, and does not eliminate all costs. flag While patients will still face co-pays and deductibles, the law aims to reduce financial barriers for those seeking treatment. flag It marks a significant step toward equitable access, with advocates calling infertility a medical condition deserving coverage.
