The RESTORE Act seeks to expand research, data collection, and medical training focused on reproductive health conditions that contribute to infertility, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, and blocked fallopian tubes. The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct literature reviews on standard care practices, modify the National Survey of Family Growth to include questions about these conditions, and establish training programs for medical professionals in "restorative reproductive medicine" and fertility awareness-based methods. The legislation also makes healthcare providers and organizations specializing in restorative reproductive medicine eligible for federal Title X family planning grants and protects healthcare providers from discrimination if they choose not to participate in assisted reproductive technology based on religious or moral beliefs. While the bill does not specify new funding amounts, it mandates reports to Congress within two years of enactment and then every three years thereafter on research progress and insurance coverage of these treatments and methods.
