New Bill: Senator Tammy Duckworth introduces S. 5108: Right to IVF Act of 2026

We have received text from S. 5108: Right to IVF Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-07-23, and currently has 46 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would create a federal right to in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and related fertility services, and it would override state laws that conflict with that right. It would allow the federal government and private individuals to enforce those protections through lawsuits, including actions brought by the Department of Justice.

Fertility care rights and coverage

The bill would expand access to fertility treatment by requiring coverage for assisted reproductive technology and related services in several health programs and insurance arrangements. This includes:

  • Health plans for many workers covered under federal rules
  • Medicaid
  • Medicare
  • The Federal Employees Health Benefits program
  • Care for veterans

It would also place limits on cost-sharing and prohibit discrimination in how fertility services are covered or provided.

Services for service members and veterans

The bill would expand fertility-related care for active-duty service members and veterans. This would include fertility preservation and cryopreservation, along with other coordinated reproductive care provided through the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense. The bill would direct those agencies to work together to improve access and continuity of care.

Use of donor materials and related rules

The legislation would allow the use of donor sperm, donor eggs, and other donor material in fertility treatment. It would also allow reimbursement related to these materials and associated services under the bill’s coverage and care rules.

Outreach and research coordination

The bill would require outreach so that eligible people are informed about available fertility services. It would also direct coordination around fertility research, likely to improve how these services are studied, tracked, and delivered over time.

Relevant Companies

  • CI — Cigna could be affected if insurance coverage mandates expand fertility benefits in commercial health plans.
  • UNH — UnitedHealth Group could be impacted through its health insurance and managed care businesses if required to cover more fertility services.
  • HUM — Humana could see effects from expanded fertility coverage requirements in Medicare-related and other insurance products.
  • MRK — Merck could be indirectly affected through increased demand for fertility-related pharmaceuticals and reproductive health services.
  • PFE — Pfizer could be indirectly affected if broader fertility care increases use of related medications and treatments.
