Family Building FEHB Fairness Act

S 797, the Family Building FEHB Fairness Act, adds fertility treatment benefits to the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. This bill directly affects federal employees and their families enrolled in FEHB plans by requiring these plans to cover specified fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization, embryo preservation, genetic testing, and related medications. Key provisions define "fertility treatment" to include procedures like artificial insemination, assisted reproductive technology, and gamete donation, as determined by the Office of Personnel Management and Health and Human Services. The change takes effect one year after the bill is enacted, making these services a standard covered benefit under FEHB.
