Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization

What it means

The order directs officials to develop policy recommendations for protecting IVF access and reducing costs. It acknowledges infertility affects many American couples and recognizes IVF treatment is currently expensive, with costs ranging from $12,000-$25,000 per cycle.

Expected impact

• Potentially lower costs for IVF treatments, making family formation more accessible to Americans struggling with infertility
• Possible reduction of regulatory barriers that may currently limit access to fertility treatments
• Enhanced support systems for couples navigating fertility challenges
• Alignment with broader family formation policies of the administration
• Possible changes to health insurance coverage requirements for fertility treatments
