Plain-English Summary

Federal employees and retirees would gain access to fertility treatments and family-building services through their health insurance plans, with coverage for procedures like in vitro fertilization and egg freezing. The change would bring federal employee health benefits in line with coverage options available to many private sector workers, helping those struggling with infertility or seeking to preserve their ability to have children later. This affects roughly 9 million federal workers, retirees, and their families who participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
