Family Building FEHB Fairness Act

The "Family Building FEHB Fairness Act" seeks to ensure that Federal employee health benefit plans provide comprehensive fertility treatment benefits . It achieves this by amending Section 8904 of title 5, United States Code, to explicitly include these services among the required offerings for federal employees. The legislation defines "fertility treatment" broadly, covering essential services such as the preservation of human oocytes, sperm, or embryos for future use, and various methods of artificial insemination . It also mandates coverage for assisted reproductive technology , including in vitro fertilization, when clinically appropriate, alongside genetic testing of embryos , fertility medications, and gamete donation . These provisions are designed to take effect one year following the bill's enactment.
