It is covered as medically necessary only when performed for PGT that meets the plan’s applicable guidelines; it is not medically necessary when those criteria are not met. Coverage is limited to indications consistent with plan-approved PGT guidelines (e.g., testing to reduce risk of inherited genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities).
