Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act
This bill requires TRICARE to cover fertility-related care, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), for active-duty military members and their dependents starting October 2027. It mandates up to three IVF cycles per year with single embryo transfers by default (unless medically necessary), eliminates cost-sharing barriers after an infertility diagnosis, and prohibits coverage for genetic screening, cloning, or artificial wombs. The law defines "infertility" based on medical guidelines and specifies covered treatments like egg/sperm retrieval, embryo preservation, and fertility medications. It does not apply to former service members or their dependents.
