This legislation, known as the "Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act," aims to significantly expand fertility treatment options for active duty service members and their dependents under the TRICARE program. It mandates coverage for a comprehensive range of fertility-related care , including diagnosis and various treatments, through TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select. Key provisions include specific coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) , allowing for up to three completed oocyte retrievals per calendar year, with a preference for single embryo transfers unless medically advised otherwise. The bill ensures that cost-sharing for these services aligns with existing TRICARE rates, preventing additional financial burdens or waiting periods once an infertility diagnosis is made. However, the bill explicitly prohibits the use of Department of Defense funds for certain procedures, such as preimplantation genetic screening, human cloning, international surrogacy, and artificial womb technology. It also establishes a new program for fertility-related care coordination , designed to ensure timely access to care and provide training for community healthcare providers on the unique needs of military families. This expanded coverage will apply to services rendered on or after October 1, 2027, but does not extend to former members of the Armed Forces or their dependents.
