This bill would require states to allow in vitro fertilization (IVF) services as a condition of receiving federal Medicaid funding. The legislation prevents states and their local governments from banning IVF procedures, which the bill notes account for nearly 2 percent of all U.S. live births. The bill does not require individuals, doctors, or organizations to provide IVF services against their conscience, and it allows states to maintain health and safety standards for the procedure. The measure was introduced in June 2024 and would apply to any state receiving Medicaid payments under federal law, effectively making IVF access a requirement for states participating in the Medicaid program.
