倡議者推動將生育能力保存納入保險給付範圍
Advocates Push for Insurance Coverage for Fertility Preservation
對於許多面臨化學治療等救命療法的患者來說,存在著一個隱藏的挑戰:醫源性不孕症,即由醫療護理所引起的不孕。
For many patients facing life-saving treatments like chemotherapy, a hidden challenge exists: iatrogenic infertility, or infertility caused by medical care.
醫學專家目前將生育力保存(如冷凍保存)視為護理標準。
Medical experts now consider fertility preservation, such as cryopreservation, a standard of care.
他們將其與乳房切除術後的乳房重建相比,後者已獲得保險廣泛覆蓋。
They compare it to breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, which is widely covered by insurance.
此外,目前正推動縮小醫療補助差距(Medicaid gap),以確保低收入患者不會被遺落。
Furthermore, there is a push to close the Medicaid gap to ensure lower-income patients are not left behind.
