Vermont § 809 - Liability for payment of gestational carrier health care costs
Full text of Vermont Vermont Statutes Online § 809 — Liability for payment of gestational carrier health care costs, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 809. Liability for payment of gestational carrier health care costs
- (a) The intended parent or parents are liable for the health care costs of the gestational
carrier that are not paid by insurance. As used in this section, “health care costs”
means the expenses of all health care provided for assisted reproduction, prenatal
care, labor, and delivery. (b) A gestational carrier agreement shall explicitly detail how the health care costs
of the gestational carrier are paid. The breach of a gestational carrier agreement
by a party to the agreement does not relieve the intended parent or parents of the
liability for health care costs imposed by subsection (a) of this section. (c) This section is not intended to supplant any health insurance coverage that is otherwise
available to the gestational carrier or an intended parent for the coverage of health
care costs. This section does not change the health insurance coverage of the gestational
carrier or the responsibility of the insurance company to pay benefits under a policy
that covers a gestational carrier. (Added 2017, No. 162 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
