Access to Fertility Treatment and Care Act
Refreshed 59 min ago
Introduced 2025-07-23Topic: health care · veterans military · social servicesSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require private health insurance plans that cover pregnancy and childbirth care to also cover fertility treatment, such as egg, sperm, or embryo preservation, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, embryo genetic testing, fertility drugs, and gamete donation. Coverage would not depend on a diagnosis of infertility, and cost-sharing could not be higher than for other medical services. Plans could not offer incentives to avoid treatment, bar providers from discussing it, or penalize providers who give it, and they would have to notify members of the coverage in writing. The bill would also add fertility treatment coverage to the federal employee health program, TRICARE, Veterans Affairs care for veterans and their spouses or partners, Medicaid, and Medicare, with no Medicare deductible or coinsurance for these services.
