Access to Fertility Treatment and Care Act mandates coverage for fertility treatments in health insurance plans.
The Access to Fertility Treatment and Care Act requires health insurance plans to cover fertility treatments if they provide coverage for obstetrical services. This includes treatments like in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and genetic testing of embryos. The act also prohibits plans from penalizing providers who offer these treatments and from incentivizing participants to avoid seeking such treatments. Additionally, it mandates coverage for fertility treatments under the TRICARE program for veterans and their spouses or partners, and under the Medicare program.
