Right to IVF Act of 2026

This bill would create a federal right for patients to receive assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intrauterine insemination (IUI), and a right for providers, insurers, and drug and device makers to offer them. It would override state laws that conflict with these rights and let the U.S. Attorney General, affected people, and providers sue to block such laws. It would require the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide ART, IUI, and counseling to service members, enrolled veterans, and their spouses, partners, or surrogates. It would also have service members' eggs, sperm, or embryos frozen at no cost before deployment or after a service-related injury, until one year after leaving service. Private health plans would have to cover ART and IUI without requiring an infertility diagnosis, and other sections address Medicaid, Medicare, and federal employee health plans.
