Religious or conscience exemptions: Not applicable — no statewide mandate.
Self-funded employer plans (ERISA): Self-funded employer plans are governed by federal ERISA rules and are outside state insurance regulation in any event.
- Medicaid infertility benefits are limited to evaluation — do not read them as cover for treatment or IVF

- The precise list of covered evaluation services under MAD 762 should be confirmed with your managed-care organisation.
