       The Committee on Governmental Oversight and Accountability
       (Calatayud) recommended the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 26 - 57
    4  and insert:
    5  infertility.
    6         (b) Coverage of standard fertility preservation services
    7  under this subsection includes the costs associated with
    8  preserving sperm and oocyte materials which are consistent with
    9  nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines and
   10  definitions. Coverage of storage expires after a period of 3
   11  years from the date of the procedures presenting a risk of
   12  iatrogenic infertility or when the individual is no longer
   13  covered under the state group health insurance plan, whichever
   14  occurs first.
   15         (c) A state group health insurance plan may not require
   16  preauthorization for coverage of standard fertility preservation
   17  services; however, a health benefit plan may contain provisions
   18  for maximum benefits and may subject the covered service to the
   19  same deductible, copayment, and coinsurance.
   20         (d) As used in this subsection, the term:
   21         1. “Iatrogenic infertility” means an impairment of
   22  fertility caused directly or indirectly by surgery,
   23  chemotherapy, radiation, or other medically necessary treatment
   24  with a potential side effect of impaired fertility as
   25  established by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
   26         2. “Nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines and
   27  definitions” mean evidence-based clinical practice guidelines
   28  developed by independent organizations or medical professional
   29  societies using a transparent methodology and reporting
   30  structure and with a conflict-of-interest policy, and
   31  definitions used or established in said guidelines. Guidelines
   32  developed by such organizations or societies must establish
   33  standards of care informed by a systematic review of evidence
   34  and an assessment of the benefits and costs of alternative care
   35  options and include recommendations intended to optimize patient
   36  care.
   37         3. “Standard fertility preservation services” means oocyte
   38  and sperm preservation procedures and storage, including ovarian
   39  tissue, sperm, and oocyte cryopreservation, which are consistent
   40  with nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines and
   41  definitions.
