Endometriosis CARE Act

This bill directs the National Institutes of Health to conduct or support data collection, surveillance, and research on endometriosis, and authorizes $50 million per year from 2026 through 2030 for that work. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to study barriers patients face in getting treatment and report to Congress within two years, and allows the department to require health insurers and state Medicaid and CHIP programs to provide related data. The department would also share information about endometriosis with the public and with health care professionals, with $2 million per year authorized for each effort. The bill also calls for a National Academies study of differences in endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes across groups, with $500,000 authorized.
