Easier Access to Infertility Treatment and Fertility Preservation

This act aims to ensure that health insurance, including federal and state programs, covers the costs of infertility treatment and fertility preservation services. This means more people will have access to necessary therapies, potentially helping them achieve their dream of having a family without incurring massive out-of-pocket expenses.
Key points
Health insurance plans covering obstetrical services must also cover infertility treatment, including advanced procedures.
Fertility preservation services will be covered for individuals whose medical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) may cause infertility.
The act extends coverage to federal programs (for federal employees, military, veterans) and state Medicaid programs, broadening access to treatment.
Out-of-pocket costs (deductibles, co-insurance) for infertility treatment cannot exceed those for similar medical services.
