The Family Building FEHB Fairness Act would require the Federal Employees Health Benefits program to cover fertility treatments for federal employees and their families. The bill defines "fertility treatment" broadly to include procedures like in vitro fertilization, egg and sperm freezing, artificial insemination, genetic embryo testing, fertility medications, and egg or sperm donation. These benefits would apply to federal workers covered under the standard federal health insurance program for civilian employees. The legislation would take effect one year after it becomes law, giving insurers time to adjust their coverage policies. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the bill, as the cost would be absorbed by the existing federal health insurance system.
