Insurance coverage in California

California's regime splits by market. For large-group plans, Health & Safety Code § 1374.55 as amended by SB 729 (Ch. 930/2024) is a mandate-to-cover: fully insured large-group plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026 must cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including IVF, with up to three completed oocyte retrievals and unlimited embryo transfers (AB 116 delayed the original July 1, 2025 date to January 1, 2026). Small-group coverage is offer-only under § 1374.55(a)(2). Standard fertility preservation for iatrogenic infertility is a covered basic health care service. CalPERS state-employee plans follow on July 1, 2027, religious-employer and plan-type exceptions may apply, and ERISA self-funded employer plans generally are not controlled by the state mandate.

What to check

Ask whether your specific treatment, medications, testing, storage, and fertility clinic are covered—not only whether the plan includes a fertility benefit.

Employer-plan exception

Self-funded employer plans are generally governed by federal ERISA rules and may not follow state insurance requirements. Confirm the funding type with your employer or plan administrator.

Coverage record effective or reviewed as of 2026-08-25.
