Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would create a federal right for people to receive assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intrauterine insemination, and for providers to offer them. It would override state laws that conflict with these rights, and it would let the U.S. Attorney General, affected people, and providers sue to block such laws. It would require private group and individual health plans to cover these treatments without requiring an infertility diagnosis, with cost-sharing no higher than for other medical care. It would require the Defense Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide these treatments and counseling to service members, enrolled veterans, and their spouses, partners, or surrogates. It would also give active-duty members free egg, sperm, and embryo storage in certain cases, and it lists requirements for Medicaid, Medicare, and federal employee health plans to cover these treatments.
