AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select to cover fertility-related care, including diagnosis of infertility and treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), for active-duty service members and their dependents. It would allow up to three completed egg retrievals per year and require single embryo transfers unless medical guidelines indicate otherwise. Cost-sharing would be set the same way as for other care of the same kind, with no waiting periods after an infertility diagnosis. Defense funds could not be used for preimplantation genetic screening, human cloning, international surrogacy, or artificial womb technology. The bill would also create a program to coordinate fertility care and train community providers, with coverage applying to services on or after October 1, 2027.
