S 1262 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Family Building FEHB Fairness Act

This bill amends the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program to add "assisted reproductive treatment benefits" to covered services. It directly affects federal employees and their families who use reproductive technologies like IVF, egg/sperm preservation, or artificial insemination, making these treatments eligible for coverage under their FEHB health plans. The bill defines "assisted reproductive treatment" to include specific procedures (e.g., IVF, sperm/egg preservation, intrauterine insemination) and grants the Office of Personnel Management Director authority to add additional covered treatments. The changes would take effect one year after the bill is enacted. This is a policy change expanding existing health benefits, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
