Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act
The Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act would require most health insurance plans to cover infertility treatment (including assisted reproductive technology like IVF) and fertility preservation services for people undergoing medical treatments that might cause infertility, such as cancer therapies. It prohibits cost-sharing (like deductibles and copays) for these services that exceeds what's charged for similar medical services and applies to private insurance, federal employee health plans, TRICARE, veterans' benefits, and Medicaid programs. The bill also requires insurers to provide clear notice to plan members about these coverage requirements. This legislation aims to ensure infertility treatment is covered similarly to other medical conditions, as recognized by medical organizations.
