Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for the coverage of assisted reproductive services under the TRICARE program, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill would amend the TRICARE program (the military's healthcare system) to provide comprehensive assisted reproductive services for active-duty service members and their dependents, regardless of their ability to conceive, gender, sexual orientation, or marital status. The bill defines "assisted reproductive services" to include various fertility treatments such as different types of insemination (intravaginal, intracervical, and intrauterine), in-vitro fertilization, and the preservation of reproductive materials through cryopreservation. Importantly, these services would be available without requiring a service-connected disability and would be determined medically appropriate, with an "appropriate period" for fertility assessment typically defined as at least one year, though healthcare providers can adjust this based on individual medical circumstances. The legislation aims to expand reproductive healthcare access for military personnel and their families, recognizing the diverse reproductive needs of service members and ensuring they have comprehensive fertility support through the TRICARE program.
