The legislation is divided into two main titles: one focusing on reproductive and fertility preservation assistance for active military members, and the other on reproductive and adoption assistance for veterans.
Title I — Reproductive and Fertility Preservation Assistance for Members of the Armed Forces
This section outlines several provisions:
- Fertility Treatment and Counseling: Active duty service members and their spouses or partners will have access to fertility treatment and counseling. This includes in vitro fertilization (IVF) with a limit of three completed oocyte retrievals and unlimited embryo transfers. Care will be accessible regardless of the individual's sex, gender identity, or marital status.
- Procurement of Genetic Material: If a member cannot provide their reproductive genetic material, they can receive treatment using donated material, with the Department of Defense covering reasonable costs.
- Fertility Preservation Procedures: Procedures will be established for the retrieval of reproductive genetic material from service members whose fertility might be impaired due to injuries or illnesses while on active duty.
- Cryopreservation Services: Active members will have the option for the preservation and storage of their reproductive material before combat deployment or hazardous assignments at no cost for up to one year after separation from service.
- Continuity of Care: The bill mandates assistance for members in navigating services and ensuring seamless access to care during relocations.
- Coordination with Veterans Affairs: There will be coordinated efforts between the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs for fertility services.
Title II — Reproductive and Adoption Assistance for Veterans
This title addresses fertility treatment and counseling for veterans and includes the following provisions:
- Inclusion of Fertility Treatment as Medical Service: The definition of medical services will expand to include fertility treatment, ensuring that eligible veterans can receive this care.
- Fertility Treatment for Veterans: Veterans, along with their spouses, partners, or gestational surrogates, will be entitled to fertility treatment and counseling, also without regard to the individual’s demographics.
- Adoption Assistance: The legislation will provide financial assistance for veterans in adopting a child, with specific costs capped per veteran.
- Facilitation of Research: The bill encourages research to enhance reproductive health services provided to veterans facing infertility issues or reproductive health challenges.
