The issue of whether or not infertility treatments should be covered by health insurance is an issue which has caused intense debate over the years. Most states have determined that health insurance must cover some types of infertility treatment but not other types, a solution which isn't ideal but is at least a step.
In keeping with enforcing these rules, the state of New York has recently fined one health insurance provider for failure to cover the infertility treatments of women who shoudl have been covered. This is important because it shows that the state takes this issue seriously as a medical condition in spite of the debates about whether or not it should be covered by insurance.
