Requires the Secretary of Defense to make fertility-related care available through TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select for active‑duty uniformed service members and their dependents. It defines covered fertility services, limits in vitro fertilization to no more than three completed egg retrievals per beneficiary while allowing unlimited embryo transfers consistent with American Society for Reproductive Medicine guidance, and creates a DoD program to coordinate fertility care and train community providers.
The policy applies to services provided on or after October 1, 2027, and directs the Department of Defense to set definitions, standards, and a coordination/training program to support delivery of these benefits under the military health system.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
