Family Building FEHB Fairness Act
The Family Building FEHB Fairness Act (HR 1670) adds fertility treatment benefits to the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. It directly affects federal employees and their families who use FEHB coverage, expanding what medical services the program pays for. Key provisions define "fertility treatment" to include services like in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo preservation, genetic testing of embryos, artificial insemination, and related medications. The bill amends existing law to require FEHB plans to cover these services starting one year after the bill becomes law. This change ensures federal employees have access to fertility care as part of their health benefits package.
