Access to Reproductive Care for Servicemembers Act

Requires the military to treat non‑covered reproductive health care—including most abortion care and assisted reproductive technologies—as time‑sensitive. Service members and their dependents can get leave and, when local timely care isn’t available, reimbursement for travel, meals, lodging, and a necessary escort.

Commanders and Defense Health Agency providers must protect privacy, cannot require disclosure of specific care to approve leave, and may not take adverse actions against members who use these authorities. Findings note that access barriers harm readiness and fall hardest on already‑marginalized groups.
