Expanding Access to Fertility Care for Servicemembers and Dependents Act

# Summary: Expanding Access to Fertility Care for Servicemembers and Dependents Act **What the Bill Does:** This bill would expand fertility and reproductive care coverage for active-duty military members and their families through the military health insurance system (TRICARE). The legislation aims to make fertility treatments and services more accessible and affordable for servicemembers who struggle with infertility, which currently may have limited coverage or high out-of-pocket costs. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly impacts active-duty servicemembers, retirees, and their eligible family members who use TRICARE military health insurance. It could particularly benefit military families facing infertility challenges and wanting to pursue treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive technologies. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 3025 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

The bill was introduced by Representative Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) in the 119th Congress. No specific provisions or detailed coverage changes are publicly listed, so the exact scope of expanded access remains to be seen in the committee's review.
