Coverage Details
Utah has no Title 31A private-market mandate requiring commercial plans to cover infertility diagnosis, treatment, IVF, or preservation. The IVF coverage reflected in background sources is public-program only: the Public Employees' Health Plan provides an IVF benefit (Utah Code 49-20-418/420) and Medicaid covers testing and IVF for certain genetic conditions plus cancer-related preservation under a waiver. Utah Code 31A-22-654 requires insurers to study IVF coverage, not to provide it, and 31A-22-610.1 is an optional indemnity provision. Earlier KFF data treating Utah private insurers as covering diagnosis/treatment reflected those Medicaid/public-employee rows, and self-funded ERISA employer plans are generally outside state insurance mandates.
