Directs HHS to expand training, research, coding, and reporting on restorative reproductive medicine, fertility awareness methods, and male infertility; ties Title X training and eligibility to those services.
Official title: To expand and promote research and data collection on reproductive health conditions, to provide training opportunities for medical professionals to learn how to diagnose and treat reproductive health conditions, and for other purposes.

The bill directs substantial federal attention, funding, training, and data collection toward restorative reproductive medicine and fertility‑awareness—potentially improving diagnosis, education, and some infertility care—while creating trade‑offs in reduced emphasis on conventional family‑planning services, higher costs and administrative burdens, privacy risks, and the risk of privileging contested treatments over established options.
Women, men, adolescents, and couples would gain expanded access to restorative reproductive medicine and fertility‑awareness services through new Title X eligibility, grants, training, and teen program funding, increasing sites that provide these options.
Clinicians, payers, and policymakers would get better evidence, national data, and recurring HHS/CDC reports on infertility, restorative approaches, and workforce availability, improving policy targeting and informing clinical practice over time.
Providers and patients would benefit from improved diagnostic coding, updated CPT/HCPCS codes, bundled payment and RVU changes that clarify billing and create financial incentives to offer comprehensive infertility diagnostics and supportive services.
Low‑income women, adolescents, and clients of Title X could see reduced emphasis on contraception and abortion‑related services as funds, training, and programs shift toward fertility‑awareness and restorative approaches, risking diminished access to established family planning.
Taxpayers, providers, insurers, and federal programs would face higher administrative and program costs from new trainings, reporting requirements, coding implementation, expanded research coordination, and additional surveys—raising federal and system spending and compliance burdens.
Collecting and publicly reporting more detailed fertility and restorative‑care data creates privacy risks for sensitive reproductive health information if confidentiality protections are inadequate, potentially exposing patients.
Based on analysis of 14 sections of legislative text.
Requires HHS to expand research, education, coding, training, and reporting on reproductive health conditions, restorative reproductive medicine, fertility awareness–based methods, and male factor infertility; conditions certain Title X funding on training by the Reproductive Health National Training Center (RHNTC) and makes entities primarily providing restorative reproductive medicine eligible for Title X grants. Updates diagnostic and procedural codes and payment models, directs new research priorities and regular HHS reporting, and protects health care providers who decline to participate in assisted reproductive technology on conscience grounds.
