Summary of Bill HR 1670

Bill 119 HR 1670, also known as the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Benefits Act, aims to require Federal employee health benefit plans to cover assisted reproductive treatments. This includes procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and sperm donation. The bill also seeks to provide coverage for fertility medications and other related services.

The primary goal of this legislation is to ensure that Federal employees have access to the necessary medical treatments to help them conceive a child. Assisted reproductive treatments can be expensive and often not covered by insurance, making it difficult for many individuals and couples to afford these services.

By mandating coverage for assisted reproductive treatments, the bill aims to alleviate the financial burden on Federal employees who are struggling with infertility. This can help more individuals and couples achieve their dream of starting a family. In addition to providing coverage for assisted reproductive treatments, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to fertility and family planning. This may include counseling services, genetic testing, and other support services for individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatments. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1670 seeks to ensure that Federal employee health benefit plans are comprehensive and inclusive, providing coverage for a wide range of medical services, including assisted reproductive treatments. This legislation aims to support individuals and couples who are struggling with infertility and help them access the care they need to build their families.
