## Summary

**This bill would require TRICARE to provide coverage for a broad set of assisted reproductive services for active-duty service members and their dependents.** It centers on expanding access to fertility care and forbids discrimination based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, or marital status. - Active-duty members would gain TRICARE coverage for assisted reproduction including intravaginal insemination, intracervical insemination, intrauterine insemination, in‑vitro fertilization, and cryopreservation of embryos, eggs, or sperm, with the Secretary allowed to add other services. - Dependents and family members eligible for TRICARE would be covered under the same rules, without limiting coverage to service-connected conditions or to a claimant's marital or partner status. - The bill defines an "appropriate period" for assessing natural conception as at least one year unless a provider decides a shorter period is clinically appropriate based on age or medical history.
