The Protect IVF Act would establish federal rights for people to receive fertility treatment and for health care providers to offer it according to guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Covered services include in vitro fertilization, insemination, fertility medicines, genetic testing of embryos, and storing or handling reproductive material. The bill would also let insurers choose whether to cover these treatments and protect manufacturers’ ability to supply related drugs and devices. State rules that conflict with these rights could be blocked. The bill was introduced and referred to a Senate committee.
If enacted, the bill would protect a person’s ability to receive or continue fertility treatment and make decisions about their reproductive material. It would allow patients, providers, and other affected parties to bring certain court cases over restrictions. It would not require insurers to cover fertility treatment.
